If you’ve been hunting for a Pinot Noir that marries coastal intensity, provenance, and aging potential in one bottle — the 2022 RAEN “Sea Field Vineyard” from the rugged ridges of Fort Ross‑Seaview AVA is it. This is not your everyday Sonoma Coast Pinot. This is precision viticulture at 1,000+ feet elevation, atop an ancient seabed, mere miles from the Pacific.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard itself is a mere 4.8 acres, a true monopole, meaning RAEN is the sole steward of this site. The vines grow in iron-rich sandstone and decomposed granite soils, exposed to coastal winds, fog, and intense diurnal swings. The result: grapes with vibrant acidity, taut structure, powerful minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaking here leans into that sense of site: 100% whole cluster, native yeast fermentations, neutral vessels, minimal fining\/filtration — nothing added, nothing masked. Despite the whole clusters, the stems recede behind the intensity of the fruit and structure in 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat reviewers are calling out for this vintage: James Suckling gave it 98 points, noting “spices and dried strawberries with stone and mineral aromas … fine tannins … goes on for minutes.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVinous (Antonio Galloni) awarded 96 points: “dark-toned fruit, spice, new leather, menthol and gravel infuse the 2022 with notable density and pure power.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass: the hue is luminous ruby, but what draws you in is the scent: rose petals, orange peel, crushed pomegranate, wild raspberries, just-picked strawberries, hints of white tea, sea moss, wet rock and ocean breeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate it’s layered, taut, focused: red and black bramble fruit, mineral core, saline lift, firm but finely tuned tannins, a finish that seems to go on and on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis isn’t a Pinot that’s about early gratification. It asks for time — cellar it and allow flavors like forest floor, cedar, sea spray, undergrowth and aged leather to blossom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: the 2022 Sea Field is for the serious collector who seeks site identity, coastal terroir, and wines built to age. It’s rare, it sees very limited production, and it delivers a style of California Pinot that dances on the edge of Burgundy in its ambition — yet remains undeniably Sonoma Coast.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RAEN Winery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46982169755905,"sku":"WK2411-RAENSEAPINOT22-750","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/8085\/9649\/files\/1762206357031-rurmgr_0826ecc8-daf6-4ba9-a757-c83445d8b0c4.webp?v=1765225537","url":"https:\/\/winekey.com\/products\/2022-raen-sea-field-vineyard-pinot-noir-fort-ross-seaview-california-usa-750ml","provider":"WineKey","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
