Bold and explosive, the 2024 possesses tremendous textural depth and intensity. Dark-toned fruit, new leather, cedar, cloves, menthol and licorice fill out the layers. This imposing, broad-scaled Pinot has a lot to offer. There’s a bit of toughness in the tannin that needs to be addressed, but this is nevertheless a very fine debut. I expect the Pacific Rock will continue to improve now that the vineyard is being transitioned to organic farming, a process that takes 7-10 years to show full results....\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Book Antiqua',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Book Antiqua'; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eThese are some of the finest wines I have tasted from RAEN.\u003c\/i\u003e”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e...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. \u003cb\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDon't miss them\u003c\/strong\u003e.\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brix26","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42380585009234,"sku":"7574408921170","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/3826\/files\/Raen_Pacific_Rock_Pinot.webp?v=1777348184","url":"https:\/\/www.brix26.com\/products\/raen-2024-pacific-rock-vineyard-pinot-noir-fort-ross-seaview","provider":"Brix26 Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
