2022 Raymond 'Reserve Selection' Merlot Napa Valley

Winemaker Notes: Dark fruit aromas of black plum, blackberry and black cherry greet the nose with nuances of rose petal. The medium to full-bodied palate has a silky texture with a lovely depth and fresh fruit flavors layered with notes of chocolate, espresso, and spice cake. This is a rich, ripe, and round wine with good concentration and smooth finish.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Tasting Panel - "Violets burst from the glass, aromatically and on the palate. The floral tones meld with an underscore of graphite, a fine line that offers a slight grip until it lets go and dusts the mouth with sage and dark plum."
