Raen Winery Cuvée Royal St. Robert Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2020

95 points - limited release                       The Raen 2020 Royal St. Robert Cuvee Pinot Noir comes from a new generation of Mondavis, Carlo & Dante. Limited. 92 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous):  "The Raen Pinot Noir Royal St. Robert is a very pretty wine. Crushed flowers, mint, rose petal, blood orange and cinnamon give the 2019 gorgeous aromatic presence. Lithe and elegant in feel, the Royal St. Robert is super classy from start to finish. This is an especially ethereal, savory style with a lot of whole cluster influence. The Royal St. Robert is a blend of the three sites in the Raen range.... ...Raen focuses on coastal sites where fruit can ripen at relatively low sugars. The wines are fermented with ambient yeasts and see a good deal of whole clusters. In tasting, the Raen Pinots convey the essence of site with tremendous depth and intensity, but no excess weight. Perhaps even more importantly, these are wines of real personality and breed. Don't miss them." 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.
