Professional Ratings

    This superb rosé of 74% Pinot Noir, 22% Zinfandel, and 4% Grenache with an incredibly light onion-skin hue held us in a state of ecstasy. The stainless steel–fermented juice offers up scents of lychee, white roses, and raspberry before white-peppered peonies, star fruit, and fig blossom tiptoe across the palate. The result is a crisp, clean beauty fringed with delicate spice and fine acidity.

    COMMENTARY: The 2020 Raeburn Rosé is bright, bouncy, and delicious. TASTING NOTES: This wine exhibits fresh aromas and flavors of tart and ripe cherries. Enjoy it with fresh salmon sashimi.

    Very pale apricot color with aromas of roses, pomegranates, grapefruit, pink guavas and sliced apples. Hints of blanched almonds, too. Medium-to full-bodied with a creamy, pretty palate.

Raeburn Winery Video

Raeburn Winery crafts complex, elegant wines dedicated to founder Derek Benham’s mother, Phyllis, and independently minded spirits like her. A lifelong lover of nature, Phyllis has a deep respect for the complexity and spectacular beauty of the environment, and she lives fearlessly within it. Like the birds she adores, she mastered flight early in life as a pilot at age 14. She completed numerous solo expeditions at the Alaskan frontier to study birds in the wild. Phyllis instilled her love of nature and spirit of independence in her son Derek and inspired by her, he founded Raeburn in 2014. The name Raeburn is Old English for “the river where one drinks” – a salute to free-thinking adventurers, like Phyllis, who dare to venture off the beaten track and flourish there.

Raeburn wines are complex and elegant wines. Made in a California certified sustainably winery, they are committed to protect and conserve the wilderness.

Whether it’s playful and fun or savory and serious, most rosé today is not your grandmother’s White Zinfandel, though that category remains strong. Pink wine has recently become quite trendy, and this time around it’s commonly quite dry. Since the pigment in red wines comes from keeping fermenting juice in contact with the grape skins for an extended period, it follows that a pink wine can be made using just a brief period of skin contact—usually just a couple of days. The resulting color depends on grape variety and winemaking style, ranging from pale salmon to deep magenta.

Russian River Valley Wine

Sonoma County, California

View all products

A standout region for its decidedly Californian take on Burgundian varieties, the Russian River Valley is named for the eponymous river that flows through it. While there are warm pockets of the AVA, it is mostly a cool-climate growing region thanks to breezes and fog from the nearby Pacific Ocean.

Chardonnay and Pinot Noir reign supreme in Russian River, with the best examples demonstrating a unique combination of richness and restraint. The cool weather makes Russian River an ideal AVA for sparkling wine production, utilizing the aforementioned varieties. Zinfandel also performs exceptionally well here. Within the Russian River Valley lie the smaller appellations of Chalk Hill and Green Valley. The former, farther from the ocean, is relatively warm, with a focus on red and white Bordeaux varieties. The latter is the coolest, foggiest parcel of the Russian River Valley and is responsible for outstanding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
