Martin Ray Reserve Santa Cruz Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Santa Cruz Mountains, San Francisco Bay, California, United StatesThe reserve is a blend of two mountaintop sites: Fellom Ranch and Beauregard Vineyards. Beauregard is south facing on Ben Lomond Mountain and Fellom Ranch is located on Monte Bello Ridge. Both get morning sun and evening fog and enjoy long growing seasons. A great 2013 year has lead to an impressive red. The nose is a fantastic mix of aromatic cedar and black fruits. The palate is similar with savoury blackberry, brown spices, mint and tobacco. The tannins are firm but fine-grained. Perfect with grilled veal or lamb chops.Tasted: 15 August 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
