The story behind Raiz
Raiz makes straightforward, fruit-forward reds in the easygoing style that large-format bottles were built for. The Cabernet Sauvignon side of the category tends toward dark cherry and cassis with a soft, rounded finish, while Merlot leans plumper and smoother, with less grip and a friendlier edge. Neither is meant to be cellared for years. They are meant to be opened, poured with dinner, and finished.
We stock Raiz in Commack in the 1.5L size, a format that suits a crowd, a party, or a Tuesday when one bottle will not do. Small brand, small allocation, so what is on the shelf is what we have.

Which Raiz is right for you?
Both Raiz bottles we carry come in at $8.98 for a full 1.5L, which works out to roughly two standard bottles per container. That is a fair price for a red you can pour for a table without thinking twice. The Merlot is on the shelf now. The Cabernet Sauvignon is out of stock, so ask us and we will tell you when it lands.
One bottle covers a dinner party without a second trip.
Soft and easy at $8.98, no ceremony required.
