Raymond Reserve 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is enticing on the nose with dark red cherry, cedar spice and anise aromas. Dry, medium-plus-bodied with flavours of dark berry, raspberry and dark spices finishing long and with velvety tannins, of course. Pour with roast beef. Drink of hold.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A lovely and robust Napa Cab. Aromas of black cherry and currant, along with black pepper, eucalyptus, graphite and smoke. Full bodied, with some soft, drying tannins, and medium+ acidity. Fruit flavours on the palate are rounded, ripe and rich, balanced nicely with some herbal notes and a peppery, smoky note on the finish. Enjoy with any grilled meats.
