Description
Brothers Carlo and Dante Mondavi are the children of renowned winemaker Tim Mondavi and the grandchildren of Robert Mondavi. Making wine is in their genes and the love for wine goes from generation to generation. Carlo and Dante founded RAEN winery in 2015 with the aim of producing world-class Pinot Noir on the western hills of the Sonoma Coast in California (USA). Currently, RAEN is making three Pinot Noirs from three unique locations on the Sonoma Coast.
A Pinot Noir from the highest class! It is not without reason that this wine received 94+ Parker points and 97 points from James Suckling. With the Fort Ross-Seaview, brothers Carlo and Dante Mondavi honor their grandfather Robert Mondavi, who taught them to always strive for perfection. Situated on a hill 2 miles from the Pacific Ocean. The wine is their 'Pretty Lady', pure elegance. The Raen Fort-Ross Seaview Home Field is matured in French oak barrels, of which 10% are new and 90% are used French oak barrels.
In the glass the wine is light to medium ruby purple in color with fresh notes of primary fruit, raspberries and blueberries on the nose with fragrant notes of blossom and rose hips. Medium-bodied, intensely fruity and involving acidity, powerful, lively and energetic on the palate until the long, exciting finish. This is a meditative wine as far as we are concerned. With every small sip, another layer emerges and with time in the glass, this pinot continues to surprise. Obviously unsurpassed with dishes with spicy or grilled meat or poultry. 99/100 Suckling

As winemakers and farmers, Carlo and Dante attribute much of what they learned to their grandfather Robert and father Tim, both of whom influenced them from an early age. Dante studied in Switzerland at Webster University in Geneva and at UC Davis in California. Carlo studied at the University of Aix-en-Provence in France and at the University of Milan in Italy. After their formal studies were completed, Carlo and Dante continued their educational work with the wine production team led by their father Tim Mondavi at Robert Mondavi Winery and Opus One. When Robert Mondavi Winery was sold in 2004, the brothers joined their father Tim, Aunt Marcia, and Grandfather Robert when they founded Continuum in 2005.
In 2013, Carlo and Dante founded the Raen winery with the aim of producing world-class Pinot Noir on the western hills of the Sonoma coast. Raen is currently focusing on creating 3 Pinot Noirs, from 3 unique locations on the Sonoma Coast namely: Fort Ross Seaview, Freestone Occidental and the eponymous Sonoma Coast. Raen Winery is located on the cool and rugged western hills of California's Sonoma Coast.
