Winemaker Notes
Brightly aromatic, this wine fills your nose with scents of briar and sweet wild berries, reminiscent of Mendocino's pedigree. The palate has flavors of boysenberry, blackberry and wild cherry. French oak barrel aging adds hints of espresso and vanilla, framing the fruit while full, rich, silky tannins carry into the finish.
Enjoy today and over the next ten years with tomato pastas, grilled chicken or a steak.
Varietal Compostition: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Malbec, and 4% Merlot
One hundred fifty years ago, retired Captain John Ray planted his first grapes in the Alexander Valley. At the same time, his ranch was becoming renowned as a stagecoach station stop for travellers making the trek through the Mayacamas Mountains to the Geysers.
Not only popular as a rest stop, Ray's Station was gaining a reputation for its quality regional wines, made from grapes grown in the valley and along the lower slopes of Ray's ranch. Today, the wines of Ray's Station pay tribute to that pioneer spirit with a gutsy, food-friendly Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that are testaments to the character of Captain John Ray.
