Pym-Rae is a Napa Valley wine estate that was once owned by the late actor Robin Williams. Williams purchased the property in 2006 and named it using the middle names of his two children.

The estate is located in the Rutherford AVA (American Viticultural Area) in Napa Valley, California, which is known for producing some of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon grapes in the world. The vineyard spans over 100 acres and is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot grapes.

After Williams' passing in 2014, the estate was put up for sale and was eventually sold in 2016 to the Tesseron family which is most famous for their ownership of Château Pontet-Canet, a Fifth Growth classified Bordeaux estate located in the Pauillac appellation. The Tesseron family has owned Château Pontet-Canet since 1975 and has overseen significant improvements to the estate's vineyards and winemaking practices.

Tasting Notes

"The 2018 Pym-Rae reveals a deep garnet-purple color and a slightly reticent, slowly emerging nose of freshly crushed blackcurrants, ripe blackberries and wild blueberries with suggestions of garrigue, red currant jelly, mossy tree bark and truffles plus wafts of bouquet garni and Sichuan pepper. The palate is full-bodied and fantastically concentrated with tightly wound layers of black and red berry notions, framed by very firm yet beautifully ripe tannins and amazing tension, finishing with epic length and loads of mineral sparks." - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Advocate (11/30/2020), Ratings: 98+, Drink: 2023-2048
