Raymond Reserve Napa Valley Merlot (750ml)

Description

Raymond Reserve Napa Valley Merlot is a red wine from Raymond Vineyards. It is mostly Merlot, with a little Cabernet Sauvignon and other red grapes for structure, and it ages around 18 to 19 months in French oak. The blend shifts slightly each vintage.

Look for dark plum, black cherry and blackberry on the nose, plus baking spice and gentle oak vanilla. The palate is silky and fairly full, layering ripe fruit with chocolate and espresso. A lingering cocoa note rounds out a long, smooth finish.

Serve it with roast chicken, mushroom dishes or lamb. A great pick for Merlot fans who want a polished, food-friendly Napa red for dinner parties or gifts.
