NOtes from scott & becky:
When your grandfather founded the Mondavi empire and the legendary Opus One you know these guys know a thing or two about pinot, especially when they dared to name it after him. Drinking Raen is a chance to pay tribute to that someone or something special in your life, and you'll enjoy every last drop.
helpful notes:
Aromas of wild strawberries, crushed dark red cherries, and rose petals fill the bowl. Black tea, wet crushed rock, and notes of "where the forest meets the meadow" yield to thyme and more delicate floral notes with finely-grained tannins leading to a long sumptuous finish.
Robert Parker gave it a 94: The 2017 Pinot Noir Royal St. Robert was made with 100% whole cluster. Pale to medium ruby-purple, the nose offers boysenberry, blackberries, crushed red cherries, smoky charcuterie notes and spicy cranberry sauce scents plus touches of forest floor and moss coming through with time in the glass. It's light to medium-bodied with concentrated, spicy fruits with well-woven tannins and juicy acidity to refresh the finish.
