The winemaking process at Martin Ray Winery begins with the careful selection of grapes from the Russian River Valley. The fruit is hand-harvested and sorted to ensure that only the best grapes are used. The grapes undergo a gentle crushing and fermentation process, with the aim of preserving the delicate flavors and aromas of the Pinot Noir.
After fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels, allowing it to develop further complexity and depth. The use of oak adds subtle nuances of vanilla and spice, complementing the natural fruit flavors of the Pinot Noir.
The result is a beautifully balanced and expressive wine. The Angeline Reserve Pinot Noir 2021 exhibits flavors of ripe cherry, raspberry, and plum, with hints of earth and spice. It has a silky texture and a long, lingering finish, making it a delight to drink.
