Raymond Vineyards R Collection Cabernet Sauvignon opens with a deep, garnet hue and an appealing aromatic profile dominated by bright red and dark berry fruits—think ripe blackberry and plum—alongside spice elements like clove and subtle white pepper that add complexity on the nose. These notes are framed by hints of blueberry and gentle sweet spice that make the first sniff both vivid and inviting.

On the palate, the medium-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon delivers rich flavours of rhubarb, blackcurrant, raspberry and baked plum, all of which mingle seamlessly with smooth, well-integrated tannins. There’s a touch of vanilla and cocoa toward the finish, giving the wine a plush yet balanced texture that makes it both approachable and satisfying.

The finish is long and gratifying, with lingering fruit and spice that encourage sipping slowly or pairing with hearty foods such as grilled red meats or mature cheeses. Overall, the R Collection Cab is structured and expressive—showcasing Californian fruit character with a touch of spice and oak influence—making it a versatile and enjoyable everyday Cabernet.
