Raen continues to impress......
one PERFECT WINE and two almost perfect wines!!!
A singular, distinctive wine that's incredibly layered, alive and spicy. So much minerality, freshness, steely acidity and complex fruit flavors. Red cherries, red plums, raspberries, violets, wild herbs, wet stones and chalk. Mouthwatering tension and a crunchy texture due to great acidity and a slight touch of reduction. Low in alcohol at 12.5%. Drinkable now, but best from 2029.
Rated 100/100 The James Suckling
2023 Raen Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast St. Robert...$79.99 / 750ml
An amazingly complex, dynamic wine that demands your attention from the first sniff to the lingering finish. Aromas of redwood forest, rosemary, purple flowers and black cherries, then black tea, pomegranate, dark cherry, dried raspberry and wild mushroom flavors. Fine-grained moderate tannins and crunchy acidity give it such a firm backbone. Drink now or hold

2023 Raen Chardonnay Sonoma Coast Lady Marjorie...$75.99 / 750ml
A light-bodied yet oh-so-full-flavored wine that opens with stony, floral aromas that lead to fresh and ripe fruit flavors backed by racy acidity. A great creamy texture but vivid in acid, minerals and chalk that lift the pear, citrus and white flower flavors. So elegant and lively, yet full of flavor and marked by a lingering finish. Drink or hold.
Rated 99/100 James Suckling
