NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Raymond Reserve Selection Merlot is an excellent example of a classic Napa Valley Merlot.A deep, dark ruby in the glass, its nose is filled with aromas of ripe cherries, brambly berries, and hints of cedar and tobacco. On the palate, it showcases flavors of ripe cherry, dark plum, cocoa, and a touch of mocha. It is balanced with a velvety smooth tannin structure and a long, elegant finish.
