Nose
Distinct aromas of blackberry jam
and cassis rounded out with hints of kirsch liqueur.
Palate
2013 is a big vintage that has a round velvety density,
with a full rich palate and a slight flint note with a
hint of cocoa nib of 85% chocolate.
Growing Conditions
This 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 St. Helena vineyards is a
stunning expression of opulence in a glass.
The 2013 vintage in Napa Valley was one of the
earliest harvested vintages in years. A warm spring led
to early bud break and created the perfect
environment for flowering and fruit set. With warm
days and cool nights, our team was able to maintain
ideal acid levels with optimum, bright fruit flavors.
The grapes came from two vineyards; the Cabernet
Sauvignon was grown on sedimentary transitional soils
in west St Helena and the Petit Verdot was grown on
volcanic tufa soils on the eastern hills above Stags
Leap.
Appearance
Dark red in the glass.
