I find Martin Ray Pinot Noir to be always a dependable, affordable and quaffable red. The current release is no exception, and in fact many Sonoma vintners describe 2016 as an “ideal” vintage. With flavors of cherry, strawberry and blackberry, bolstered by a light touch of earthiness and discreet hints of oak, this Pinot is attractive indeed.
