Raen Pinot Noir "ROYAL St. ROBERT" Sonoma Coast 750mL
| Vintage: | 2019 |
|---|---|
| Description: | Raen is a new project put out by Carlo and Dante Mondavi, grandsons of the famed Robert Mondavi. Carlo and Dante are fourth generation vintners born and raised in Napa Valley who "cut their teeth" working under Tim Mondavi at the Robert Mondavi Winery as well as Opus One. The two brothers credit their dad Tim for the passion they share for Pinot Noir, as Tim is a big Burgundy fan and was a pioneer for California Pinot Noir through the '70s. Raen's Sonoma Coast bottling has been named Royal St. Robert Cuvee, in the honor of Carlo and Dante Mondavi's grandfather (Robert Mondavi) who taught them to be committed to excellence. This bottling is a selection of their finest barrels giving a window into the cool, rugged westerly hills of the true Sonoma Coast. Aromas of rose petals, black plum, crushed red cherries, bush raspberry and wild thyme fill the bowl. Black tea, forest floor and spring meadow yield to savory herbs, delicate floral notes and a black cherry core. The finish is long lasting with the final notes encapsulated in the silky tannin structure. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 95 Points - "Medium ruby, the 2019 Pinot Noir Royal St. Robert is bursting with alluring cranberries, rhubarb and strawberries with nuances of charcuterie, tangerine peel, black tea leaves and dried roses. The medium-bodied palate offers layer after layer of spicy red fruit, supported by fine, silty tannins and finishing with uplifting freshness and perfume that calls you in again and again for another sip." |
