MARTIN RAY CAB SANTA CRUZ

Never one to shyly blend in with the crowd, this wine's depth and boisterousness is its most notable strength. With deep red hues of ripened black cherry, wild boysenberry, and candied red apple, layered on more savory notes of smoky cayenne pepper, savory black trumpet mushrooms, and aromatic dried lavender and spearmint, this wine has a very welcome wild side.

The palate is defined by its solid tannins, bright natural acidity, and graphite-like minerality with a deep, dark chocolate finish. Pair alongside grilled veal chop with wild mushrooms and roasted garlic.
