Wine Description

The RAEN Fort Ross Seaview ‘Sea Field’ Pinot Noir 2021 is a memorable bottling crafted by Dante & Carlo Mondavi from the ancient Sea Field vineyard in Sonoma Coast, California. The vineyard is perched 1,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean and planted on diverse marine soils and fractured bedrock that date back between 66 and 200 million million years.

Grounded in the unique terroir, and greatly affected by the climatic conditions of the vintage, this wine captures aromas of rose petals, orange pith, crushed pomegranate, and wild strawberries, giving way to cool coastal forest and wet rock notes. On the palate, vivid wild strawberries, faint violet flowers, and white tea meld together to create a powerful flavor profile that lingers on the palate. The full-bodied pinot noir is well-structured and firm, with notes of powdery dirt and flower stems as well. The complexity of the wine will come full circle with some time in the bottle, making it suitable to be enjoyed after 2025.

As well-respected critics agree that the ‘Sea Field’ 2021 Pinot Noir holds its own against other wines on the market, drinkers can be rest assured that the quality is tried and true. Crafted with 100% whole cluster and native yeast fermentation, and without fining or filtration, RAEN Fort Ross Seaview’s ‘Sea Field’ Pinot Noir 2021 has masterfully incorporated the influence of both land and climate to produce a beautifully balanced wine.

Excellent.

Timothy Courtney – December 5, 2020
Thanksgiving wine with high expectations met. Beautiful garnet color, precise and focused. Red fruits with strawberry and a hint of cherry. Medium-bodied with fine tannins.

Rodney Jones – March 12, 2022
Young and fresh Pinot with cherry and strawberry flavors and a bit of floral notes. Great acidity and enjoyable.

Terry Kennedy – March 13, 2022
Good Fort Ross-Seaview, light, minerally, great aroma, short finish. Overhyped due to pedigree, overpriced. Prefer Peay Scallop Shelf, 40% cheaper and better QPR.

Betty Mcnicholas – March 27, 2022
Double Blind Pinot from monthly wine group: Youthful, ripe strawberry and red berries with tangy tartness. Cool freshness and restraint. Surprisingly young.

Riley Porter – June 8, 2022
Soft, dusty red with muted red cherry and raspberry. Seamless entry. Not enough richness, depth, or complexity. Will hold onto remaining bottles and wait.

Reva Porter – July 14, 2022
Fruit-forward and easy to drink.

Paul Holtmeier – August 16, 2022
Park90’s American Pinot had a sweet fruit profile that felt artificial and distracting.
Rated 4 out of 5
Ruth Sparks – September 12, 2022
Balanced, elegant, and delicious with notes of wildberry, flower, red plum, and mineral. Drinks well now with air, but will age beautifully. Enjoyed with shoyu chicken.

Carlos Davidson – September 26, 2022
Drinkable now, may improve in 3-4 years, but overpriced.
Rated 4 out of 5
Brian Salano – November 30, 2022
Medium weight and color with restrained fruit and astringency. Needs more time to develop. Regionally unique but didn’t resonate with me.
Rated 4 out of 5
Cornelius Sellman – December 2, 2022
Light with good body and fruit, elegant with a long finish and good acidity. While a strong effort, for the price, I’d recommend other Sonoma coast wines like Hirsch or Peay.
Rated 4 out of 5
Lisa Clanton – February 12, 2023
Intense black cherry, spice, cola, and floral aroma. Medium acidity and tannins. Needs a few more years in the bottle to fully mature.
Rated 4 out of 5
JS – May 31, 2023
Extremely aromatic with plums, crushed strawberries, rose flower, powdery dirt, before turning to cherries. Hints of flower stems. Perfumed. Full-bodied and very, very firm. Rather steely. Tight at the end. It opens beautifully in an hour or so. Drink after 2025.
VIN – May 31, 2023
The 2021 Pinot Noir Sea Field is intensely floral and full of flavor, with cool-climate savoriness driving a core of bright, red-toned fruit. Deceptively medium in body, the 2021 has a ton of complexity waiting to emerge. Time in the glass brings out compelling inner perfume and quite a bit of nuance. But, it is tightly wound and quite reticent at this stage.

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir grapes exhibit a distinct elegance. Their thin skins and tightly clustered berries make them susceptible to disease and challenging to cultivate. However, the rewards of this persnickety grape are extraordinary. Pinot Noir wines possess a remarkable flavor profile, often described as silky, with vibrant acidity, delicate tannins, and an array of aromas. Expect to encounter red fruit notes like cherry and raspberry, accompanied by earthy undertones, floral hints, and sometimes a touch of spice. Renowned regions such as Burgundy in France, the Willamette Valley in Oregon, and California's Sonoma County have become synonymous with exceptional Pinot Noir production. Each region brings its own terroir and climate, contributing to the wine's character. Burgundy, for instance,... Read More
