Beyond the Label

“Jean-Charles Boisset seems to be pulling out all the stops to create something very special with these wines.”

That’s serious praise from top critic Robert Parker for Jean-Charles, the dynamic owner of Raymond Vineyards; “one of the iconic wineries of Napa” (Parker again), it’s also held Wine Enthusiast’s American Winery of the Year title. Well-deserved praise—and just the tip of the accolades iceberg for this impressive outfit.

And it’ll only take a sip of this gorgeously ripe-fruited exclusive to demonstrate how they’ve managed to capture all the kudos …

Made with premium Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from top-sited vineyards throughout the Central Coast, The Inaugural was crafted by Raymond’s Cab ace, Stephanie Putnam—former star winemaker at Far Niente (the famous Napa estate whose Cabs fetch hundreds of dollars a bottle). Previous releases have a lengthy list of top gold medals, including a double-gold, “Best-of-Class” win at the New Orleans International Wine Awards. And this equally classy 2020 is sure to follow in its footsteps.

Look for a ripe core of cherry and plum, notes of white pepper, and a long, smooth finish. Makes for an amazing dinnertime centerpiece—pair with steak, leg of lamb, beef stew, and more.
