2018 Raymond Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Selection

4/29/2024 - Jonnhy99 Likes this wine: 90 points

The Velvet Label wine had a nice presentation, but the question remains: does it translate to a good drink?

The wine had earthy aromas that were accompanied by perfumed notes, blackberry, red currant, dried herbs, and pepper.

The flavours were similar, with hints of caramel, vanilla, and a subtle taste of iron on the finish. It had medium acidity and well-integrated tannins. Overall, it was not a bad wine and the price was reasonable for Napa. Surprisingly, it paired well with pastries.

3/31/2024 - La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine: 91 points

This deep ruby wine is a blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, aged for 19 months in French oak barriques (37% new). On the nose, it offers plentiful Bing cherry and red currant fruit that is accented with bittersweet chocolate, baking spices, hazelnuts and tobacco. Medium-bodied, freshly acidic, seamlessly alcoholic (14.5%), proportionately oaked and with medium sweet tannins, it delivers flavors mirroring the nose and has good mid-palate density. Medium-to-long and smooth on the back end, this is an enjoyable Cab that should provide plenty of pleasure throughout the remainder of this decade. Serially sampled over a three-hour interval from a bottle that had been popped and poured, it was immediately expressive but ramped up to a nice plateau after the first hour of air. Drink now-2030.

Last tasting early 2020, good time to try again.

Constent with prior notes:" Medium ruby color, some thinning at the edge. Nose showing blue fruits and licorice. Medium/fruit forward palate of dark fruits, black cherry, mineral notes. Medium weight and finish. Tannins fined."

Picked up some tart fruit this time on the mid palate. The dark/blue fruits still prevalent. Ttill rich and expressive, not loosing any fruit at this point. This bottle had a bit more depth (from memory). It was good to go after a splash decant. Drink or hold

Great wine. Smooth and long finish. Dusty tannins, medium acidity. Great balance. Really nice fruit ... cherries, cassis ... on the sweeter side of the spectrum. Beautiful "Rutherford Dust" element. Really enjoying this wine. Has years to go for aging if wanted. Still 2 bottles left.

Not impressed. Flat, acidic expected more. Fun winery to visit though. Some fruit t on the palate but little complexity, finish is moderate to long but not exceptional in character. Nice velvet label!

2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Event (Minneapolis, MN): Liked this better than the Oakville tasted side by side. Dust, earth, cherry, blueberries, mild oak and spice. Smoother wine and medium plus finish. Drink now to 2028.

2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Event (Minneapolis, MN): Big style with oak, cherry, spices, floral and a bit hot. Medium finish. Not a wine I would purchase based on the price.

This wine is well within its drinking window in 2024 so I was excited to give it a try. More than anything, this wine craves fat in some form. Carnivores, fire up a steak. Vegetarians, grab some burrata. Vegans, saute some mushrooms in your best and freshest olive oil. Just make sure this wine has something to work against. That will allow the wine to showcase its depth and complexity without being overshadowed by its tart acidity. A wine tending toward the Bordeaux style, if that's your style this is its California version.

Smooth and medium to heavy, with blackberry and vanilla flavors. It's a bit of a fruit bomb, but very pleasurable and easy to drink. This might be a poor man's Caymus.

Bill's. Dark, rich color, nose and palate with sweet California fruit, a little cedar and mint. Showed beautifully and was perhaps my favorite among several old California cabs.

Classic Raymond cab, smooth start to finish. Never disappointed. Not too fruity, not to dry and a long linger. It's so drinkable and needs no food pairing although I'm sure it would pair well with a nice sharp cheddar or a dark chocolate.

2/1/2024 - SpenceP wrote: 93 points

Intense sweet cherries, ripe black plums, perfect blackberries, almonds, milk chocolate, flowers, hint of maybe allspice, faint background of leather, faintest hint of licorice. Gentle tannins. Lovely and very long aftertaste. Enjoyable even immediately after opening, but needs well more than an hour in the glass to be at its best (the score was significantly lower earlier). Just a lot of fun. No hurry at all, but also no reason at all to wait. [Tasted over almost two hours from the Jancis Robinson glass. The description reflects this glass and combines notes from the entire 2-hour period--at any one time, most, but not all, of these descriptors would make sense. Very briefly tried several other glasses--too briefly for it to be fair to mention them by name--and, although the wine was still enjoyable, little of the complexity was present from those glasses. I gave this bottle a week upright to allow any sediment to settle out, but I suspect that this was more than was needed.]

Very nice Cabernet with great nose, the label talks about a balance between intense fruit and finessed palate. Completely agree this is a very good wine.

Strong fruit nose, mostly berry . Palate is strong up front, good ripe red berry flavors. Finish does tend to Casper on you. But no harsh notes. Could be a bit more powerful with more body

Lots of black cherry and cola with dark milk chocolate. It struck me as being especially nicely balanced. Finish was smooth and felt sweet.
this wine was my third favorite of the 6 Cabs last night.
