Raen Royal St. Robert Pinot Noir 2016

COUNTRY : USA

The 2016 Royal St. Robert cuvée is dedicated to our grandfather Robert Mondavi, who taught us to be committed to excellence. 2016 brought rains that helped to replenish our vines and restore our vineyards from the previous drought. These rejuvenating spring storms were followed by a beautiful growing season that was cooler than average, resulting in wines with incredible balance and finesse that embody what we love about our distinctive hillside sites.

"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."  Wine Advocate 95 points
