The Land
This special cuvée draws from Raen’s coastal vineyards on the western edge of the Sonoma Coast, where rugged hills meet the Pacific Ocean. Shaped by constant maritime winds and blanketed by coastal fog, the vines benefit from cool, slow ripening conditions, allowing the fruit to develop intense concentration while retaining vibrant acidity. The soils, a mix of marine sediment and volcanic ash, infuse the wine with a distinct minerality, while the dramatic landscape lends a wild, untamed energy to each bottle. This terroir, with its dramatic weather shifts, delivers a unique window into the beauty and power of the westerly Sonoma Coast.
The Wine
Vibrant aromas of black and red cherry, rose petal, and black tea fill the glass, immediately captivating the senses. The palate is layered with wild raspberry, just-ripe red plum, and earthy notes of coastal moss, wet gravel, and forest underbrush. These complex flavors are wrapped around a powerful fruit core, while hints of western spice box add intrigue. 100% whole cluster fermentation, natively fermented, and bottled without fining or filtration, the wine has a firm structure, lively acidity, and a long, energetic finish that captures the essence of its California coastal origins.
