Editorial profile
Raymond Vineyard & Cellar is a Rutherford winery founded in 1971 by the Raymond family, now part of Jean-Charles Boisset's Boisset Collection and farmed organically and biodynamically across its Rutherford and St. Helena acreage. Cabernet Sauvignon anchors the portfolio: the estate-blended Generations bottling, a Napa Valley Reserve, and a District Collection that isolates single-vineyard Cabernet from Rutherford, Oakville and Stags Leap to show how the valley's sub-appellations differ.
A Small Lot Collection carries less common varieties — Malbec, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Chenin Blanc, Vermentino — grown in Napa Valley and Rutherford, alongside an Estate Collection Merlot sold only at the winery. The R Collection extends the label to broader California and Lodi fruit, and the Frenchie series — named for proprietor Jean-Charles Boisset's late French bulldog — carries proprietary Bordeaux-style red blends and a Chardonnay.
