Courtney Benham acquired the old Martini & Prati winery in July 2003, which is now Martin Ray Winery. Pale lemon with bright citrus, tropical and floral aromas. Palate shows melon, citrus, grassy herb and earthy tones, well balanced with acidity, smooth yet robust on a medium+ finish ending with wet stone character. Tasting Sample!

Bright, clean, nice lime zest elements. Not overly grassy either. Tasty.

Pretty good sauv blanc. Nice elegance to it and very smooth body. Nice peach and pineapple on the nose. Awesome finish with a touch of sweetness.

Lemony minerals! I think it will go great with the alfredo sauce I'm making.

Tart, Granny Smith Apples. Smells a little bit like citrus but cant taste it as much. Makes side of palate salivate from acidity.
