Raen Royal St. Robert Cuvée Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2023

#1 USA Wine of 2025 by James Suckling 99pts

An amazingly complex, dynamic wine that demands your attention from the first sniff to the lingering finish. Aromas of redwood forest, rosemary, purple flowers and black cherries, then black tea, pomegranate, dark cherry, dried raspberry and wild mushroom flavors. Fine-grained moderate tannins and crunchy acidity give it such a firm backbone.
