Aromatic and complex, this vibrant wine fills your nose with scents of briar and sweet wild berries reminiscent of the wine’s Mendocino pedigree. The palate follows the fruit trail with flavors of boysenberry, blackberry, black raspberry and wild cherry. French oak aging adds hints of espresso and vanilla framing the fruit seductively while full, rich, silky-soft tannins carry these sensations long into the powerful finish.

John Ray played a pivotal role as one of the early pioneers in what we now know as the wine country of Northern California. After successfully establishing vineyards across the region, Ray extended his influence along the northern stretch of the Russian River, where he planted some of the initial vineyards in Mendocino County.
Supervising the process of fruit selection and winemaking is the esteemed winemaker Michael Westrick. With over 20 years of experience crafting high-quality wines inspired by Bordeaux, Michael has led winemaking efforts for renowned wineries such as Sterling Vineyards in Napa and Stonestreet Winery in Sonoma. Employing a hands-on approach and a finely honed craft, Michael is thrilled to create exceptional Cabernet and Merlot wines sourced from Mendocino County. The use of handpicked fruit and small-batch winemaking captures the rich, terroir-specific essence of this region.
Mendocino boasts an extended growing season characterized by long, hot days and cool nights influenced by maritime conditions, making it a world-class winegrowing region. The vineyards on the benchlands provide soils with exceptional drainage, and the vines, with roots that delve deeper than those on typical valley floors, contribute complexity to the fruit. Through sustainable farming practices, Ray's Station ensures that these limited-production wines are intense, bold, and reflective of the region's distinctive character. Ray's Station collaborates with esteemed growers such as Rhodes Vineyards, H&W, Stanton Ranch, and Piffero Vineyards.
