Raeburn Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2023

Founded in 2013, Raeburn Winery is a scorching hot Sonoma County producer that is gaining a lot of notoriety for their expressive, fruit-forward Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. Taking its Olde English name from “the river where one goes to drink,” this estate perfectly leverages the cool, foggy climate of the Russian River Valley to create balanced, energetic wines that reflect their terroir.

The focus here is entirely on winemaking. There’s no traditional tasting room for Raeburn nor do they need it. Led by rising star, Colleen Fitzgerald, these wines have started to quickly trickle out into the marketplace, mainly through spoken word and a lot of really happy customers that can’t wait to share this affordable and super approachable wine with their family and friends.
