Martin Ray Russian River Pinot Noir

Founded in 1943 by pioneering vintner Martin Ray, our winery has carried forward his legacy of crafting honest, terroir-driven wines from California’s most storied appellations. From our home in the Russian River Valley, we source fruit from mountain ridges, coastal hillsides, and sunlit valleys, showcasing the state’s extraordinary diversity. Led by winemakers Leslie Renaud and Raemy Paterson, Martin Ray produces wines that balance precision and personality. They are elegant yet approachable, expressive of both vineyard and vintage. Each bottle is a tribute to craftsmanship, sustainability, and the belief that great wine should tell the story of where it’s grown. A classic coastal Pinot Noir, this wine brims with aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and baking spice. The palate is silky and balanced, showing purity of fruit framed by subtle oak and fine tannins. Cool ocean breezes lend freshness and lift, resulting in a graceful Pinot that’s equally suited for a casual meal or an elegant dinner.
