Oak spices and deep black-fruits make a great combination in this fullbodied, gently tannic wine. Dark plums, dark chocolate, mint, sweet cinnamon and blueberries spread across the palate.

Ripe, juicy and fairly open-knit, with black currant and blackberry notes leading the way, backed by light licorice snap and tar. A juicy edge drives the finish. Drink now through 2030. 262 cases made.

The deep ruby-hued 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon District Collection Calistoga is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and was raised all in 32% new Saury barrels. It has wonderful balance as well as a medium to full-bodied, elegant, almost understated profile that builds nicely with air. It has classic Cabernet darker currants fruits as well as subtle tobacco, incense, and floral nuances. Again, the balance is terrific, and it should have no problems evolving for 15+ years. I suspect it will show more intensity with another couple of years of bottle age as well.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Calistoga is laced with all sorts of savory and earthy notes. Dried herbs, tobacco, crushed flowers and mint all grace this flavorful, expressive Calistoga Cabernet from Raymond. The 2019 is very nicely done. It will drink well with minimal cellaring, as it is already quite expressive.
