More about the 2022 MARTIN RAY HOWELL MOUNTAIN CABERNET SAUVIGNON: Martin Ray's 2022 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon radiates power, depth, and the captivating essence of this distinguished appellation. Born in the wake of America’s Prohibition era, Martin Ray emerged as a trailblazer who reshaped California wine. Guided by the legendary vintner Paul Masson, Ray’s vision centered on terroir expression, culminating in the creation of the renowned Mount Eden Estate, which set a lasting standard for site-driven wines. Committed to producing wines of distinct character, Ray sought out California’s varied microclimates, selecting sites that vividly conveyed their origins. In 2003, Courtney Benham acquired the Martin Ray label, upholding this rich legacy with steadfast dedication to artisanal, terroir-focused wines that reflect Ray’s founding principles. The 2022 Howell Mountain vintage thrived under near-ideal conditions, with a brief temperature spike before harvest. Fortunately, the mountain’s elevation and cooler microclimate protected its vineyards, yielding perfectly ripened fruit marked by a refined balance of elegance and robust structure. This Cabernet Sauvignon captures the region’s bold potential, revealing its rugged allure in every compelling sip. Indulge in this plush Cab by ordering yours today.
