RAEN winery

Our team is honored to share that the inaugural release of our newest single vineyard, our Pacific Rock Pinot Noir, was recognized with an perfect 100pt accolade.

We began our journey on the magical Sonoma Coast nearly two decades ago in search of what we consider California Grand Cru sites. That search led us to Bodega and Sea Field, and the backbone of our Royal St. Robert cuvée. Then in 2024, our path led us here, to the stewardship of Pacific Rock. In the remote corner of Fort Ross-Seaview, this site everything we love about the westerly Sonoma Coast… rugged, wild, and alive with the energy of the sea. We have been incredibly grateful to farm this site, and with its inaugural release, share its story with you through this bottling. Our journey here has just begun.

Thank you .suckling & team for the incredible recognition.

Fragrant sour grass, field marigold, and pink Herb Robert are all showing off this time of year in our vineyard, alongside clover, the first soft grasses and beautiful wild iris in the surrounding Redwood forest. This is quite the magical time of year on the Sonoma Coast ✨

Today marks an important moment in our story, as we announce the inaugural release of RAEN’s newest single vineyard bottling. We are grateful to share that our Pacific Rock Pinot Noir is now available to our members.

A site we consider a true California Grand Cru, Pacific Rock represents more than a decade of farming and exploration along the far Sonoma Coast. This vineyard will now sit alongside our other single-vineyard expressions, each a reflection of the true Sonoma Coast, its unique geologies, microflora and microclimates, all woven into our story.

It has been an honor to begin our journey as stewards of this extraordinary site, and today, it is an honor to share this wine with you.
