Raen Royal St. Robert Cuvee Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2023

Raen Royal St. Robert Cuvee Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2023

Medium-bodied and chewy with tart tannins, it also has deep red fruits and black cherries. These combine with black raspberry fruit, savory spice, earth and grilling scents. More than pretty great.

Critical Acclaim

99 James Suckling

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.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Royal St. Robert is redolent of floral, savory and citrus notes. I find it especially brilliant and crystalline. At the same time, the 2023 is pretty tightly wound. Rose petal, iron, tea leaves, incense and dried herbs open nicely with some coaxing, The colder growing season brings out the slightly gamier, wilder side of Pinot Noir along with plenty of brightening acidity in this mid-weight, taut Pinot from Raen.
