Raen Winery Cuvée Royal St. Robert Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2014

$59.95

The Raen 2014 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir comes from a new generation of Mondavis, Carlo & Dante. Limited. When Robert Mondavi Winery was sold in 2004, the brothers joined their father Tim, Aunt-Marcia and grandfather Robert as they founded Continuum in 2005. In 2013 Carlo and Dante founded RAEN winery with the goal to produce world class Pinot Noir on the western hills of the Sonoma Coast. RAEN currently focuses on making three Pinot Noirs, from three unique sites on the Sonoma Coast. Tasting Notes:  Deep, ruby red in color working its way to an ever slight, ruby hazed rim. Aromas of ripe red cherry, wild strawberry, coastal moss, and pomegranate lead to underlying notes of Moroccan mint and wet stone. On the palate the wine opens with bright acidity backed by youthful, fine grained-tannins. Flavors of wild dark berries, and crushed stone lead to a wonderfully long finish. A tiny 154 cases were produced.

Plum, blackberry, chalk, wood. Super tight nose. Finessed and elegant. Opened up wonderfully after a half hour decant.

Fun to taste - my first time - it shows a really nice feel for Pinot Noir. Finesse but not underpowered or green.

Very tight in its youth. Redcurrant and green herbs and wet stony earth.

Really nice! Plum, berry, herbs, floral, a bit rustic. Balanced and exciting.

Ripe fruit with a small amount of alcoholic heat. Not terribly complex. Things improved with about 45 minutes of air. It's a richer version of Pinot that doesn't really suit my tastes. Nothing wrong with it though. It's just not for me.

Quite acidic good stance and balance. Perfumed, raspberry and very nice slight bitterness, tealeaves! Impressive. Sonoma coast with a Burgundian twist.
