Raen
About Raen
Raen’s founders and brothers Carlos and Dante share a surname with the single most influential and important North American icon of fine wine in the 20th century, and one which will be instantly recognisable to even the most casual of oenophiles – Mondavi.
Their grandfather Robert was a visionary beyond compare for what has become, for many, the most exciting vinous region in the world at this point in time. Their family arrived in the USA over a century ago from Italy and immediate grew to become vignerons of serious note. Sadly, prohibition put paid to the ambitions of a generation of the Mondavi family, but their seemingly inevitable destiny remerged in 1933 with its end.
Founded in 1966, the Robert Mondavi winery produced countless legendary wines before the family unexpectedly sold in 2004 with Robert, Carlos and Dante’s father Tim and the brothers of course choosing to expand into new projects. One such project, helmed and founded by the youngest generation of those is Raen, started in 2013 and already a serious player on the Sonoma Pinot Noir scene.

James Suckling (98)This is amazing on the nose with dried strawberries, sandalwood, mahogany and tea leaf. Iron and rust underneath the fruit. Dried flowers, nutmeg and rose petals. Full-bodied yet agile and energetic with layers of fine dusty tannins. Entrancing finish. Give this four or five years in the bottle, but it’s hard not to drink. |
