This Pinot Noir is one of the contenders for best value Pinot Noir in the store year after year.
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 another pioneer, Paul Masson, he took a burgundian approach to his wine-making. Nearly twenty years later, Courtney Benham stumbled upon 1500 cases of Martin Ray wine in a San Jose warehouse. Courtney then purchased the brand, and since 1990 has been committed to the production of artisanal wines worthy of the Martin Ray name.
Courtney Benham and his brother Derek are best known for having created the Blackstone Merlot brand also in 1990, which they then sold in 2001.
While Martin Ray owns very little land itself, its many relationships with growers in California premium wine-growing areas allows the winery to source only high quality grapes that meet their standards. The 100% Pinot Noir Martin Ray Sonoma Coast was sourced from Richioli, Cartan Vineyard and Tina Marie vineyards and spent 11 months in oak.
