"The 2015 Chardonnay Peter Martin Ray Vineyard presents a deeper, richer expression of the Santa Cruz Mountains than the Trout Gulch tasted alongside it. Dried apricot, dried pear, chamomile and lightly honeyed notes grace this super expressive, resonant Chardonnay. The Peter Martin Ray has very obvious raciness from its exposure, but that is balanced by the decision to pick on the earlier side."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
