"They have been pioneers in Napa with a great history and fabulous commitment to the region. The family's passion, continuity through five generations, and continued involvement truly excited us, along with their solid reputation for wines with marvelous balance and excellent value. They were an integral part of crafting the phenomenal reputation of the Napa Valley."

Craig Raymond, Raymond vineyard manager, added, "without high quality fruit our winemakers cannot produce great wines.
