We SOLD OUT on our first Marathon, but the Operatives on the live stream spoke and we listened. The rest of the day we have MICA!

Happy Memorial Day, dear Operative!

The last time we featured a Martin Ray wine, our Operatives responded by scooping up every last case that we had on sale. Martin Ray returns, today, with an even more special wine, their Martin Ray Winery 2014 Napa Valley Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.

This young wine is drinking beautifully at the moment, we can’t wait to see how much better it will become with even just a little more aging.

Very fragrant on the nose, with incredible aromas of smoky black cherry, blackberry reduction, grilled beef, savory spice, twigs, summer forest and black pepper.

Deep and delicious on the palate, with flavors of blackberry preserve, spice box, smoked meat, grilled cherry, baker’s chocolate, dried fall leaves, cassis and subtle black pepper.

Cheers!

Here’s what the wine press has to say:

92 points - Wilfred Wong - “An unusual reserve offering—reserves are often powerful, super ripe or over-oaked. The 2014 Martin Ray Napa Valley Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is not that way at all. The wine’s red fruit and medium bodied style place it in a more elegant group. Drinks well now.”
