Raymond R Collection Merlot

Raymond Vineyards' R Collection Merlot exemplifies the winery's dedication to crafting exceptional California wines.

On the nose, it presents an aromatic bouquet of blackcurrant and fig, complemented by subtle hints of spice. The palate is filled with smooth cherry, raspberry, and plum flavors that seamlessly integrate with earthy undertones and a touch of spice, culminating in a toasty vanilla finish. Aging in seasoned French and American oak barrels for 10 months enhances its depth and character.

This full-bodied yet approachable Merlot balances acidity and tannins, making it a versatile companion for various occasions. It pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes, or a selection of fine cheeses.
