Yountville Cabernet Sauvignon Reviews

This is a sleek, concentrated and quietly powerful wine. Subtle, complex fruit, spice and savory components meld beautifully from the first sniff to the flavors and the lingering finish. Black cherries, black olives, a sprig of rosemary and a dash of dark chocolate are a winning recipe. Best from 2025–2035.

Solidly built, with a core of lightly steeped red and black currant fruit laced with apple wood, anise, sweet bay leaf and sassafras. Good juicy energy is deeply inlaid through the finish. Best from 2023 through 2035. 370 cases made.

Aromas of baked cherry, paprika and tarragon. Full-bodied with lovely, savory complexity. Creamy tannins. Ground spice and roasted herbs blend on the palate. Succulent fruit. Nicely composed. Drink or hold.

Cooler climate-like notes currants, green herbs, tobacco, and chocolate emerge from the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon District Collection Yountville, a medium to full-bodied, nicely balanced, structured Cabernet. The tannins are more obvious here, so give it 3-4 years in the cellar.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Yountville is one of the most distinguished wines in this range from Raymond. It offers up tons of dimension and breadth. Savory herbs, leather, tobacco and menthol add gorgeous layers of nuance to this deep, flavorful Cabernet.
