JEB DUNNUCK 97 POINTS - "The jeweled ruby-hued 2022 Pinot Noir Sea Field comes from a 4.8-acre site in the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA and offers a more savory, coastally influenced profile. In the glass, it boasts aromas of wild cherries, incense, pine needles, rocky earth, and toasted spice. On the palate, it also takes on more intensity, and while it remains medium-bodied, it has crystalline purity with ripe concentration throughout, as well as ripe tannins and a clean, salty, mineral finish. It’s an exceptional wine from Raen to drink over the coming 15 years."
ANTONIO GALLONI 96 POINTS - "This is a superb set of 2022s from brothers Carlo and Dante Mondavi. Sadly, yields are down a punishing 40-50%, mostly because of frost in May. “We had small clusters and tiny berries with thick skins,” Carlo Mondavi explained. The 2022 Pinots are intense, dark wines. As always, the Pinots are done with 100% whole clusters. In 2022, the interplay of huge fruit with intense stem character makes for wines that are beguiling but also need cellaring to be at their best. Time in barrel remains around ten months."
"The 2022 Pinot Noir Sea Field emerges from a site adjacent to Hirsch. Dark-toned fruit, spice, new leather, menthol and gravel infuse the 2022 with notable density and pure power. Like all the Raen wines, the Sea Field was done with 100% whole clusters, but the stems are pretty much buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. The tannins are big and imposing."
