Wine Enthusiast

Aromas of tart cherry, cranberry and cedar waft from the glass of this Pinot, while the palate brings raspberry, green herb and mint flavors in a framework of barrel spice and oak structure. The finish lingers with whispers of graphite and more herbal tones. 

Winemaker's Notes

Brilliant crimson in color, Raeburn Sonoma County Pinot Noir leads with pleasing aromas of berry pie, lavender and vanilla. The palate is marked with fresh fruit flavors of lush wild
blueberry, raspberry, and cherry with undertones of roasted hazelnut. The finish is graceful and sophisticated.

Winery Notes

At Raeburn we appreciate and are inspired by nature’s gifts while ‘leaving well enough alone.’ We take this approach when making wine, a task made easier when starting with grapes from Sonoma County’s finest vineyards and carefully bring our wines to life. Rather than engineer, we guide the grapes towards the best versions of themselves.

Our name, Raeburn, is an Old English word that means, “the river where one drinks.” A fitting nod to those who prefer to slow down to observe, appreciate and flourish in nature’s surroundings.

Facing extinction in the early 1990s, the egret symbolizes care and awareness; serving as a reminder that human intervention can help protect and preserve nature. An avid nature lover, Phyllis would spend months in the Alaskan wilderness observing birds. A symbol of grace and beauty, these birds grace the labels of every bottle of Raeburn wines.

Raeburn wines are elegant, lush and balanced, crafted to allow the natural character of the grape varietal to shine.
