Raen Fort Ross - Seaview Sea Field Pinot Noir 2022
West Sonoma Coast AVA, CA
750 ml
98 pts. James Suckling:
"Spices and dried strawberries with stone and mineral aromas as well as sandalwood and oyster shell. Some orange peel and lavender. Full-bodied with layers of very fine tannins that have a firm and direct nature. It goes on for minutes. So structured with tannins that spread across the palate. Needs time to soften and open. Try after 2028."
96 pts. Vinous:
"The 2022 Pinot Noir Sea Field emerges from a site adjacent to Hirsch. Dark-toned fruit, spice, new leather, menthol and gravel infuse the 2022 with notable density and pure power. Like all the Raen wines, the Sea Field was done with 100% whole clusters, but the stems are pretty much buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. The tannins are big and imposing."
An impressively well-balanced, gorgeous Pinot that will blow your socks off! As an added bonus, it’s a respectable 13.5% alcohol. A winner! – Wine Factor
FROM THE WINERY
We are grateful to have celebrated this 10-year milestone with the 2022 vintage, a growing season that allowed for wines with an incredible depth of flavors. The 2022 vintage wines are lifted, expressive and elegant, and will age beautifully for decades to come.
From the rugged and remote pockets of Fort Ross- Seaview, this 4.8-acre monopole vineyard represents our most elegant terroir. Vines sit atop an ancient sea bed, dating back 200 million years, soaring high above the sea at more than 1,000 feet in elevation. Mere miles from the sea, this is our highest elevation and most coastal site.
Delicate white rose petals, orange peel and crushed pomegranate are followed by freshly picked raspberries, wild strawberries, and white tea. Coastal wet rock, sea moss, ripe red berries and a kiss of salinity transport us to the sea that sits just beyond Sea Field. Floral and violet notes follow, with lingering hints of crushed wild strawberries, offering an incredibly long and vibrant finish.
