Roy Raymond, Sr. and his two sons, Roy Jr., and Walter founded Raymond Vineyards in 1971. This father and sons team worked together to plant and build Raymond Vineyards. Roy, Jr. and Walter still work side-by-side running the winery and producing fine Napa Valley wines.

The original 90 acre estate vineyard is on Zinfandel Lane in the geographic heart of Napa Valley, between the towns of St. Helena and Rutherford. The Raymonds purchased this land based on the belief that it would prove to be a prime grape growing location. This site is at the convergence of the distinguished Rutherford and St. Helena appellations, recognized worldwide for exceptional Cabernets. The Rutherford vineyard is planted primarily in Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Both of these varietals benefit from the Pleasanton loam soil and warm micro-climate. These idyllic conditions produce elegant multi-dimensional red wines that are well-balanced and flavorful.
