MARTIN RAY 2021 PINOT NOIR
THE WINE
Balanced by these distinct appellations, we blend our Pinot Noir to be classic in style and defined by the diversity among the vineyards we source from.
APPELLATION
Sonoma County 69% | Monterey County 31%
VINEYARD NOTES
From the cool diurnal shifts in the south, to higher elevations in the North, there is a striking contrast to the concentration of fruit and high acidity. Cool, dry, and long growing seasons in this maritime climate are essential, yielding wines of balance and complexity.
VARIETAL COMPOSITION
100% Pinot Noir
VINTAGE NOTES
The culmination of factors from another drought year in California surprised us with a beautiful vintage. An unseasonably dry and mild winter, which led to an early spring, forced the vines into bud break during peak frost season. A relatively warm, but even summer, resulted in early harvest dates, with lower-than-average yields.
WINEMAKING NOTES
Fermented separately in small open-top fermenters with gentle punch-downs. Maintained at moderate temperatures until dry, basket-pressed, and racked to 33% new French oak for 12 months.
TASTING NOTES
Bright Bing cherry, raspberry gastrique, and underripe plum with hints of spice layered over earthy mushroom. Vivid red fruit carries throughout with touches of clove and citrus zest. Fresh acidity throughout, with structured, yet plush tannins on the finish.
