Nose
This wine opens with
distinct aromas of dark fruits and black currants
rounded out with hints of vanilla and candied
violets.
Palate
Our 2012 Red Room Napa Valley Red
Wine offers bountiful flavors of blueberries and
boysenberries with black currant and caramel.
Rich and dense upon the palate, this wine has a
velvety texture and satisfying finish.
Growing Conditions
The fourth vintage of the Red Room Napa
Valley Red Wine is a limited-edition, classic
claret style Napa Valley wine completely unlike
anything Raymond Vineyards has offered before.
Available only in the Red Room, this exclusive
blend of noble Bordeaux varietals grown in
esteemed Sr. Helena vineyards is a stunning
expression of opulence in a glass.
Harvest
"Classic" and "perfect" are just two accolades
being bestowed upon the 2012 Napa Valley
growing season and harvest. Textbook
conditions saw near-ideal spring bud break,
steady flowering, even fruit set, and a lengthy
stretch of warm days and cool nights during the
long summer months. Late and light rains held
off until Napa Valley's treasured wine grapes
found optimal ripeness, bringing exceptional
quality to the crush pad and into the cellar.
Appearance
Dark red in the glass.
