2024 RAEN - Pinot Noir Sea Field Fort Ross-Seaview (750ml)
From the rugged pockets of Fort Ross-Seaview, Sea Field represents RAEN's most elegant terroir—a hillside site perched at roughly 1,200 feet, only a couple of miles inland from the Pacific. The vines were planted over 40 years ago, among the oldest Pinot Noir plantings on the coast. Farming is organic and regenerative, with native fermentations, whole-cluster use, and aging in neutral French oak—resulting in a style that is lifted, aromatic, and precise, emphasizing finesse, energy, and transparency over ripeness or weight.
Bottle size: 750ml
