ANTONIO GALLONI 94 POINTS - "These are some of the finest wines I have tasted from Raen and the team led by Proprietor Carlo Mondavi and Winemaker Melanie McIntyre. The warmer growing season was generally a positive for Raen’s cold, marginal sites. Yields were on the generous side, which is often not the case. What stands out most about the 2024s is their extraordinary balance."
"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."
WINE SPECTATOR 92 POINTS - "Red and black cherry and raspberry preserve notes are nicely coiled together, with subtle dark tea, wood spice and floral elements forming a pretty backdrop for the finish. Drink now through 2029. Tasted twice, with consistent notes."
