RAEN Pinot Noir Freestone Occidental 2018

A flawlessly balanced and fresh Pinot Noir. Fragrances of roses, berries, and black tea. Light on the palate, but with richness and depth to the berry and mineral flavors. Impressive now, but will continue to improve through 2025.

Raen Winery

Bodega Vineyard is the most singular, exotic, and coolest terroir under the care of Carlo & Dante Mondavi; steep, raw, and powerful rests just east of Bodega Bay between the villages of Freestone and Occidental. This westerly planting is one of the oldest meter-by-meter plantings of pinot noir on the Sonoma Coast what this vine density shows in the wine.
