Wine Advocate: 95 Points

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Generations is a wine that comes from both St. Helena and Oakville and is 99% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the balance Petit Verdot. This beauty showcases how much Jean Charles Boisset has improved the quality of the Raymond wines. There are 2,112 cases of this wine, which has an inky purple color and a beautiful nose of licorice, toasty oak, blackberry, cassis, spice box and forest floor. The wine has great intensity, a full-bodied mouthfeel, terrific balance, and well-integrated acidity, tannin, alcohol and wood. It should drink well for 25-30+ years.

James Suckling: 93 Points

A well-structured red with subtle blueberry, blackberry and mineral aromas and flavors. Full body, firm and silky tannins and a fresh finish. Better in 2019 but very beautiful to taste now.

Wine Spectator: 93 Points

Lavishly oaked, exhibiting a strong mix of mocha, espresso and smoke notes. The fruit holds its own, with dense blueberry, blackberry, black licorice, tobacco leaf and savory roasted herb flavors, ending with a long, full, sustained aftertaste. Drink now through 2027.

Wine & Spirits: 92 Points

Most of the fruit for this wine comes from two vineyards in western St. Helena, blended with a portion from the cooler reaches of southeastern Napa. It combines the alcohol drive and power of a ripe up-valley cabernet with the cool freshness of 2013 tannins. Firm and generous in its blue fruit, the finish seems to emphasize the espresso roast flavor of oak tannins along with the black and blueberry edge of grape skins. Cellar it.
