About the Winery:
RAEN Winery was founded in 2013 by Carlo & Dante Mondavi, the two sons of Tim Mondavi. After working with their father in building Continuum, they decided to go off on their own and venture out to the West Sonoma Coast to make cool climate Pinot Noir that can stand on its own on the world stage.
RAEN is a Pinot Noir domaine focused on yielding aromatic, lifted wines of finesse and elegance from what we consider to be three “grand cru” vineyards capable of sitting among the worlds finest.
About the Vineyard:
Our 4.8 Sea Field Vineyard (monopole) produces our most elegant wines year in and year out. This unique bottling comes from an ancient Sea Field of diverse marine soils and fractured bedrock dating back between 66 and 200 million years. Soaring 1,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean and less than 3 miles from its waters, Sea Field is both our most coastal and highest elevation pinot noir site. The combination of these elements creates Sea Field.
Delicate and fresh rose petal, orange pith, and white tea open the bouquet, unfolding into cherries, rose petals, orange pith, lychee, wet rock, and crushed raspberries. Coastal air brings more wild red fruits, ocean sea moss and a hint of salinity weave throughout. The frame and elegance are overtaken with fruit, flower and elements evoking the nearby, wild coast. The palate carries a vibrant clarity, with lingering notes of wild strawberries and coastal rock that extend into an incredibly long and refined finish
100% Whole cluster • natively fermented • bottled without fining or filtration
12.5% ALCOHOL
Ratings & Reviews
98 Points - James Suckling:
Aromas of seaweed, fresh and dried strawberries, salt and white pepper. Medium- to full-bodied, showing persistence, intensity and structure, with firm, muscular tannins. Long, lightly chewy finish. Needs three to four years to soften, but a solid wine. Best in 2028 and beyond.
95 Points - Vinous Media:
"The 2024 Pinot Noir Sea Field is powerful and tightly wound. Dark-toned fruit, leather, cedar, spice, incense and dried rose petal infuse the 2024 with tons of complexity. This potent, deep Pinot Noir packs a tremendous punch. There's a lot of wine here, but this needs time to soften and for the mid-palate to emerge. There's a striking, crystalline purity here." – Antonio Galloni (Jan 2026)
