Raymond District Collection Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon District Collection Rutherford is another gem that has the charming, already approachable style that’s common from wines from Raymond, yet it also shines for its balance, mid-palate depth, and length on the finish. Lots of textbook Cabernet tobacco, earth, cassis, and spice notes emerge from the glass, and it’s another head-turning wine in the lineup that can be drunk today yet also cellared for 15 years or more. Maturity: 2021-2038. Score – 95. (jebdunnuck.com, Jan. 27, 2021)
