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 Pinot Noir Royal St. Robert is fabulous. Deeply pitched spice notes, blood orange, new leather, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco meld into a core of sweet red cherry fruit, mint, spice and cedar. This is one of the finest vintages of the Royal St. Robert I have ever tasted, going all the way back to Raen's early days." Vinous 94
