Long cool growing season 11 months 30% new French oak unfined unfiltered. Ripe fruit, very nicely balanced wine 13.5%. Enough acidity. There is an agreeable soft/plushness to this. I think from the 30% new oak there’s some chocolatey lusciousness complexity. It’s good. Probably a crowd pleaser.  — 2 days ago

Pale lemon color with aromas of stone fruits and blossom and spice, fruit from the Martinelli Charles Ranch, two miles in from the Pacific, aged for 12 months in 25% new oak. On the palate flavors of apple and pear with a touch of zesty lemon, crisp, with nitty vanilla notes. Nice mouthfeel, vivid acidity, medium+ finish ending with fruit, vanilla and citrus mineral character. Nice! — 8 months ago

Strong black pepper nose, with blueberry and jasmine. Wonderfully complex on the palate with dancing ripe red currants and blueberries. Amazing and delicious. Slight tannins and long, smooth finish. — 6 years ago

Fort Ross Seaview Bordeaux blend. Old world style. Truffle, cedar & cassis nose. Fresh style on the palate. Drinks more Super Tuscan than Bordeaux. Black currant & tobacco, but loads of fresh acid. Drinks great with a pork ragu & pasta. Definitely one to seek out. — 6 years ago

All estate fruits aged 11 months in French barrel, 30% new. A taut, mineral-driven Chardonnay with chiseled structure and sharp acidity balanced by deft use of oak. The tension between brisk salinity and supple texture is lovely. Give it another 3-5 years in the bottle. — 5 months ago

Fan of Raen but got ahead of myself with this 2024. Fine but needs more time. — 6 months ago

A bit syrupy on the nose but the highish abv is surprisingly well balanced. Lot of blueberry. One of the better Pinots imo but not worth the extra wait and still boring — 8 months ago

Aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and coastal wildflowers lead into a palate of pear, citrus oil, and crushed stone. The concrete egg and Austrian foudre lend purity and gentle roundness, while 15% new French oak adds subtle spice and toast. Bright acidity carries a saline, mineral-driven finish with impressive length and poise. — 6 months ago

Really incredible wine. Not paired with any food, the wine is flavorful, quenching w/ oak flavor adding the right dryness and notes of plum & vanilla to finish - really well balanced and opened well. Bottled was empty far too quickly : ) — 6 years ago
