Martin Ray has been around in the Russian River Valley, in form or another, since 1881. This is their entry level Cab, sourced from Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino County grapes and aged for 20 months in French oak.
The color is a see-thru ruby red and the nose is full and fragrant and changes as the wine opens up. The flavor is robust dark fruit, chocolate covered blueberries with a touch of vanilla. Sounds delicious, doesn’t it?
This is a very inviting Cabernet, it really draws you back to take another sip. It does not have a lush mid palate or a long lingering finish, but I don’t care. The tannins are very balanced, just a touch in the back of your palate. Nothing to get in the way of just great tasting Cabernet Sauvignon. Great Tasting Cali Cab at a really nice price, what’s there not to like?
