The name Martin Ray resonates deeply in the history of California Winemaking. Martin Ray was a pioneer dedicated to crafting single-varietal, region-specific wine from 1943 through 1972 in Saratoga, in the heart of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Mentored by Paul Masson, he took a Burgundian approach to his winemaking and developed what is now one of the most historical properties in California, Mount Eden.
Nearly twenty years later, Courtney Benham stumbled upon 1500 cases of Martin Ray wine in a San Jose warehouse. Recognizing his good fortune, and his intent and drive to produce terroir-driven wines, Ray’s historical significance and philosophy resonated with him. Courtney purchased the brand, and since 1990 has been committed to the production of artisanal wines.

Gently whole cluster pressed, wine is then racked 24 hours later into concrete eggs. Fermented at 56 degrees, with only native yeast fermentation, no malolactic, aged on the lees for 6 months. Bright with ripe Jonagold apple and fresh cut pear, and touches of tangerine pith and Fleur de Sel. Racy acidity, with lemon cream and ample viscosity on the midpalate. Layers of salinity with citrus notes throughout, and hints of jasmine over a clean, linear finish.
