Wine Enthusiast:  Rated as Excellent, extremely well made and highly recommended. "It’s very rich & delicious, offering waves of cherries, raspberries, blackberries, chocolate, smoky oak & spices.  Feels round & supple, & soft in the mouth, making it fine for drinking now."

Winery:  "This Cabernet Sauvignon opens with bright, red jammy fruits, mostly cherry and strawberry. Aromas of lush berry mix with white pepper, cedar and sandalwood, making this earthy wine one of delicious complexity. This wine is rich with a long toasty finish of rhubarb and cranberry."

Wired For Wine:  This Raymond Family Classic Cabernet Sauvignon is rich, delicious, and a terrific value. What's not to like??  Your first glasses will cozy up instantly with curried lamb samosas and an apricot chutney.  As for the entree, your options are many given the wide assortment of flavors in this California Cab.  The rich dark fruit, smoke, spice, light pepper, and earthiness which lead to a beautifully long finish allow this Raymond to pair well with most any meats, lamb in particular, robust cheeses, earthy spices and a whole lot more.  Grill some gorgeous cuts of well-marbled steak and top with gorgonzola butter.  Be sure to have enough chairs in case of swooning...  A more casual choice, but equally delicious is peppered lamb burgers with "hot" tomato jam.  The jam will bring out the fruit of this Family Classic.  Roasted prime rib with an orange balsamic glaze is perfect for a crowd.  After the main event is over, an aged French Camembert will be the ideal ending to what undoubtedly will have been a great meal.  It will go toe to toe with the potent earthiness of this gorgeous red.  Get your glasses on, winelovers!
