The Inaugural R Collection by Raymond Vineyards Cab Sauv 2023

Made with premium grapes from top vineyards throughout California's Central Coast, The Inaugural R Collection by Raymond Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is a ripe, fruit-forward expression made by some serious experts in the wine business.

As critic Robert Parker says about the winery's dynamic owner, “Jean-Charles Boisset seems to be pulling out all the stops to create something very special.”

But what else do you expect from “one of the iconic wineries of Napa” (Parker again), that's held Wine Enthusiast’s American Winery of the Year title. Well-deserved praise—and just the tip of the accolades iceberg for this impressive outfit.

It’ll only take a sip of this gorgeous exclusive to demonstrate how they’ve managed to capture all the kudos …

The Inaugural was crafted by Raymond’s Cab ace, Stephanie Putnam—former star winemaker at Far Niente (the famous Napa estate whose Cabs fetch hundreds of dollars a bottle). Previous releases have a lengthy list of top gold medals, including a double-gold, “Best-of-Class” win at the New Orleans International Wine Awards. And this equally classy release is sure to follow in its footsteps.

Look for a ripe core of cherry and plum, notes of white pepper, and a long, smooth finish. Makes for an amazing dinnertime centerpiece—pair with steak, leg of lamb, beef stew, and more.
