Martin Ray
2021 Rosé
, Sonoma Coast

92 Points, James Suckling

Fresh cherry, white peach and lemon zest notes with a core of racy, vibrant acidity.  A touch of pink grapefruit and honeycomb, with a linear core throughout and creamy finish.  While always fresh and food friendly, this Rosé is also complex, intended to be enjoyed all year.  Lean and pure of fruit with brilliant high tones that highlight this expressive varietal. Very Limited. While it lasts.

VINEYARDS

Coming from a small percentage of nearly all of their Sonoma Coast vineyards including Martin Ray Estate, Ricioli Vineyard, Dutton Ranch.  Each picked at its ideal ripeness to maximize the flavors. The subsequent Rosé takes on a complex bouquet and palate ideal for year round enjoyment.

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.
