2021 Martin Ray Synthesis Cabernet 750ML
2021 Martin Ray Synthesis Cabernet 750ML Quintessential Napa Cab. A stunning compromise of power and restraint, our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon bears characteristics of each appellation it is derived from. Bringing together the perfect marriage of the contrasting styles that each vineyard yields, it draws from the silky, earthy, more readily approachable Napa Valley floor fruit, and chewy tannins and tertiary profiles that exist from Mountain appellations.
Deep and polished with plum, fresh cherry and marionberry with touches of cassis and clove. Vibrant red fruits layered with dried sage and cedar. Full and steadfast, its bright acidity is balanced by well-integrated tannins, with a hint of cocoa and earth on the finish. Winemaker.

Martin Ray was a California wine pioneer, a historical figure, who made great wines from 1943 to 1972. His style was complexity and elegance and developed what is now one of the most historical properties in California, known as Mount Eden which makes some of the finest Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet in California today. Many years later Courtney Benham, a leader himself in quality and top bottlings from Napa for the last thirty years, stumbled upon 1500 cases of Martin Ray wine in a San Jose warehouse. This was lost wine treasure and Benham realized the huge significance Martin Ray had on California. Wanting to keep the name alive he purchased the brand in 1990. The name Martin Ray has become synonymous with killer Napa Cab. Today, Courtney and his winemaking team devote themselves to Ray’s ideology of making “wines of place”. Sourcing from the finest hillside vineyards in the finest locations.
