Roy Raymond Sr. arrived in the Napa Valley in 1933 and started working as a cellar worker at Beringer Brothers Winery in St. Helena. he and his family has been a fixture of the Napa Valley wine tasting community ever since. Roy Raymond, Sr. and his two sons, Roy Jr., and Walter founded Raymond Vineyards in 1974. This father and sons team planted and build Raymond Vineyards together. Today, Roy, Jr. is the winery's Executive Advisor. Walter is President and heads up the winemaking and production activities. Roy Jr.'s son Craig has taken over duties as Vineyard Manager and Craig's wife Margaret oversees the wine club. Walter's daughter Krisi is involved in sales, marketing and winemaking operations. With the addition of this 5th generation, Raymond family members oversee and run all operations, from grape growing and winemaking to sales and marketing. The vineyards... The Raymond family acquired ten acres on Stice Lane in the St. Helena area in 1985. While the climate in St. Helena is the same as the Rutherford vineyard, the soils are more gravelly and lighter in composition. The Cabernet Sauvignon vines planted here tend to be less vigorous, producing smaller berries and lower yields. With a higher skin to soft fruit ratio, these grapes produce wines that are bold, with intense flavors, solid tannins and good structure. The Jameson Vineyard lies at the southern end of Napa Valley, on the east side of the Napa River, directly across from the Carneros appellation. This area presents ideal conditions for growing Chardonnay. Raymond purchased the 250 acre Jameson Vineyard in 1992. The rolling hillside vineyards overlooking Jameson Canyon are touched by the winds and fog that come off San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The cooler climate and marine influence produce bright crisp fruit flavors in our Napa Valley Reserve Chardonnay. Check out the Raymond Vineyards website!
