The Inaugural Gold Edition R Collection by Raymond Cabernet 2019

Led by proprietor Jean-Charles Boisset and head winemaker Stephanie Putnam, Raymond Vineyards is “one of the iconic wineries of Napa,” says critic Robert Parker. We go way back with Jean-Charles and Stephanie—which means our customers get true insider access.

Their red-labeled “Inaugural” Cabernet is one of our all-time best-sellers. That got Jean-Charles thinking—why not reward all those loyal fans out there with a totally luxurious, limited-release “Gold Edition.”

Stephanie (former winemaker for legendary Napa estates Far Niente and Hess) knew just the thing to bring Jean-Charles’ vision to life.

Taking the base “recipe” for the popular red label, she added a very healthy measure of premium Cab from the hallowed Rutherford district (“the Pauillac of California,” once declared author Hugh Johnson). After a little slumber in French oak, the resulting Cab has all the delicious, dark-fruit flavor of the original with more concentration, structure and class.

We aren’t kidding when we say “limited-release,” either—don’t wait too long to order.
