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.
Steep and remote, Raen's Bodega vineyard sits just 4 miles from the coast. Being surrounded by redwoods, pines, wildflowers, coastal oaks and a beautiful assortment of plant life creates an incredibly diverse micro-flora for the vines. In the bowl, aromas of wild strawberry, pine, rose petals, herbs and raspberry give way to forest floor, resin and cherries. Flavors of wild dark berries, forest floor, savory herbs, exotic spice, floral notes and black tea lead to a wonderfully long finish.
