Highly-Rated RAEN Pinot Noir from the Mondavi Bros.

The Mondavi family is one of the most well-known names in American viticulture, and their innovation has left an indelible footprint on the wine industry across the nation.

The Mondavis began planting Pinot Noir over 100 years ago, and Tim Mondavi pioneered the variety in the early 1970s, later transferring his passionate endeavors to his sons Carlo and Dante. The boys grew up at Opus One estate and learned keen winemaking techniques from their father at his cult winery Continuum.

RAEN Royal St. Robert Cuvée Pinot Noir is a special tribute to their grandfather, legendary Robert Mondavi, who has been the most valuable mentor in the wine industry.

Royal St. Robert is a blend of a hand-chosen selection of coastal vineyards that give a flavorful depiction of the Sonoma Coast.

The 2021 release is 100% whole cluster, natively fermented, and bottled without fining or filtration, giving a super pure style of Pinot Noir with a powerful core and a vibrant finish.

“Extremely spicy with iron, forest flower, black tea, and dried strawberry aromas, following through to a medium to full body, with lovely velvety tannins that are integrated and refined, with a long and flavorful finish. Yet it always remains refined and poised in a exemplary way. Needs three or four years still to show it’s true self. Drink or hold.”

“The 2021 Pinot Noir Royal St. Robert is outrageously beautiful. Deep, pliant and layered, the 2021 is an absolute delight. A burst of sweet red berry fruit, sage, mint, crushed leaves and spice all open in a yielding, mid-weight Pinot endowed with striking balance. There’s gorgeous texture and resonance here. Silky tannins wrap up in the inviting finish.” —Antonio Galloni
