RAEN Winery is a small, family-run estate founded by Carlo and Dante Mondavi on the far Sonoma Coast, focused on producing cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with a strong sense of place. Farming is organic and regenerative, with vineyards located just miles from the Pacific, where fog, wind, and poor soils naturally drive freshness and minerality. In the cellar, the wines are made with native fermentations, whole-cluster use, and aging in neutral French oak, resulting in a style that is lifted, aromatic, and precise. The wines are often described as “Burgundian” in feel emphasizing finesse, energy, and transparency over ripeness or weight.
The 2024 Chardonnay Lady Marjorie is elegant, delicate and wonderfully nuanced. Lemon oil, crushed rocks, mint, slate and sage are finely delineated in a transparent, crystalline Chardonnay that is so impressive. The Lady Marjorie is a blend of sites in the Sonoma Coast. It's such a pure, nuanced Chardonnay." Vinous 94
