Mentored by Paul Masson, he took a Burgundian approach to his winemaking, and developed what is now one of the most historical properties in California, known as Mount Eden.\r\nNearly twenty years later, Courtney Benham stumbled upon 1500 cases of Martin Ray wine in a San Jose warehouse.\u00a0 Recognizing his good fortune, and his intent and drive to produce terroir driven wines, Ray\u2019s historical significance and philosophy resonated with him. Courtney purchased the brand, and since 1990 has been committed to the production of artisanal wines worthy of the Martin Ray name.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIn 2003, Martin Ray Vineyards & Winery made its home in the Russian River Valley, on the edge of Green Valley at one of the oldest continually working wineries in California. Today, Courtney and his winemaking team devote themselves to Ray\u2019s ideology of making \u201cwines of place\u201d. By sourcing from hillside vineyards, they are relentless at telling the story of each exceptional appellation and vineyard.\u00a0 The depth of the portfolio offers those seeking a unique experience the chance to explore some of the most revered appellations in California.\u00a0 From our 12 acre Estate, to the mountain regions of Santa Cruz and Napa, to the northern reaches of Dry Creek Valley and Sonoma Coast, there is an abundance of phenomenal growing regions, great farming, and meticulous detail to vintages. |
