Raymond Reserve Selection Merlot (750Ml)

Description

Raymond Vineyards, founded in 1974, is one of Napa Valley’s most respected wineries, known for its dedication to quality and tradition. Located in the heart of Napa Valley, California—one of the world’s most renowned wine regions—this winery produces exceptional wines that reflect the region’s character. Their 100% Merlot showcases the rich and smooth Californian style, offering a full-bodied experience that’s both intense and flavorful. Each sip reveals notes of black cherry, dark plum, mocha, roasted coffee, and hints of vanilla or spice from oak aging. The wine’s velvety texture, fine tannins, and long, satisfying finish make it a true pleasure to enjoy.

Aged for about 19 months in French oak barrels, it gains depth, complexity, and structure. The grapes are handpicked from select Napa Valley vineyards, including Rutherford, Oak Knoll, and St. Helena, ensuring top-quality fruit. With an alcohol content between 13.5% and 14.5%, this wine pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as braised short ribs, roasted duck, or grilled lamb. Raymond Vineyards also stands out for its sustainable approach, with several vineyards certified organic and Biodynamic. Priced between $35 and $50, this award-winning Merlot represents the best of Napa Valley craftsmanship and passion in every bottle.
