Wine Details

Beyond the Label

Founded in 1970, Raymond Vineyards is “one of the iconic wineries of Napa,” says top critic Robert Parker. It’s also the name behind many of our most popular California wines. And they’ve sent a very special treat for you.

When current proprietor, Jean-Charles Boisset, purchased Raymond in 2009, he found a treasure trove of wines tucked away in the cellar. He and head winemaker, Stephanie Putnam, have left this ‘Library Collection’ undisturbed, releasing the wines only when they reach their perfectly mature peaks.

Now, you can be among a select few to taste their rare 2000 ‘Library Release,’ crafted with Cabernet Sauvignon from Raymond’s estate vineyards in Rutherford. At over 20 years old, it’s remarkably youthful and reaching its beautifully mature peak.

Expect perfumed aromas of black currant and fig, plus toasty oak and baking spice from 18 months in fine French oak barrels. The palate is ripe and voluptuous, offering rich dried fruit flavors, harmonious tannins and a lengthy, complex finish.

Be advised that the cork might be crumbly—a totally natural feature in a mature wine like this. If it breaks, simply decant the wine, slowly rotating the bottle to catch the cork pieces in the shoulder. Decanting the wine will also help unleash its full aroma and flavor complexity. Afterwards, serve it with roasted red meats, hearty pastas or winter stews.

We have very limiited cases cases of this rare 2000 Cabernet. Act quickly to secure your share.
