Martin Ray
Martin Ray was a legendary winemaker who was a pioneer in establishing 100% varietal wines in California. He also led the way in developing the now famous hillside vineyards of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Today, the winery is owned by Courtney Benham, who honors the heritage of Martin Ray with his commitment to sourcing premium wine grapes from hillside vineyards in Santa Cruz, Napa, Mendocino and Sonoma Counties. They also offer exclusive Diamond Mountain and Santa Cruz Mountain Cabernet Sauvignons, available in limited quantity. Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and proprietary reserve wines are hand-crafted in small lots... following the dictum of the late Martin Ray: "We add nothing to our wines, nor do we take anything from them. With infinite care, we leave them alone".

A fine, fancy Cabernet. It shows Diamond Mountain’s famously hard tannins, but they’re so finely ground, the wine is actually drinkable now, with a brief decant. It’s entirely dry, with complex waves of blackberries, cherries, currants, violets, mocha, minerals and, of course, plenty of sweet smoky oak. more
