Raen Winery, Royal St-Robert Cuvée Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast, 2023

$82.00

Raen stands for Research in Agriculture and Enology and is the Sonoma Coast project of Carlo and Dante Mondavi focused on cool-climate Pinot Noir shaped by extreme coastal conditions. The Royal St. Robert Cuvée is sourced from select hillside vineyards influenced by fog, wind, and long growing seasons, allowing for slow ripening and natural balance. Farming emphasizes sustainability and minimal intervention, with winemaking guided by restraint and site conditions.

The 2023 vintage is vibrant and finely tuned, offering wild strawberry, red cherry, and cranberry layered with subtle coastal herbs and a saline, mineral edge. The palate is fresh and precise, driven by bright acidity and silky, fine-grained tannins that give the wine lift and length. The finish is clean and focused, reflecting the tension and elegance that define Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir at its best.

Varietal: Pinot Noir
Appellation: Sonoma Coast, California, United States
Farming: Sustainably farmed
Style: Red. Fresh, coastal, and refined
