About Martin Ray Vineyards & Winery
Martin Ray pioneered Californian single varietal, region specific wine between 1943 and 1972 out of Saratoga in the Santa Cruz Mountains. When Courtney Bernham found 1500 cases of Martin Ray wine in a warehouse in San Jose, he decided to take on Ray’s legacy and purchased the brand. Since 1990, he’s been committed to producing wines worthy of the Martin Ray name.

Martin Rey Mysterio

TASTING NOTES:
“…overflowing with aromas of fresh raspberry jam, fresh blueberry, dried blackberry leaves and the spiciness of cloves and cinnamon stick with a distinct undertone of black tea. The medium body is substantial without being cloying, while the bright acidity adds a zesty quality to the balanced fruit.” (AbV 14.8%)

BARRELS:
15 months in 50% new French, American and Hungarian oak.
