Royal St. Robert Cuvee is named in honor of Dante and Carlo Mondavi's grandfather who taught them to be committed to excellence. This bottling is a selection of their best barrels giving a window into the cool, rugged westerly hills of the Sonoma Coast. Aromas of fresh cut wild strawberries and rose petals from RAEN's Occidental site married with dark bing cherries and hibiscus flowers fade to a sweet resin, white tea, thyme, forest floor and crushed rock.

Critical Acclaim
RP95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Pinot Noir Royal St. Robert has slowly unfolding scents of dried red cherries, amaro, wet leaves, tobacco and graphite. The medium-bodied palate features loads of finely grained tannins and fresh acidity to support its concentrated fruits, and it boasts a very long finish with layer after layer of spicy accents.=

JS95 James Suckling
Strawberries, crushed stones, cedar and hints of meat. Dried flowers, too. Medium-bodied with chalk and spice. Dried citrus. Delicious and wonderful.
