Martin Ray Winery Vineyard Tour

Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyards
Santa Cruz, California

The fruits of the Garrod Ranch and the Fellom Ranch on Monte Bello Ridge comprise the blend for the Martin Ray ãSanta Cruz Mountainä Cabernet Sauvignon. The Garrod Ranch has a soil composition made up of adobe clay mixed with gravel. The morning and evening fog, along the with other maritime influences from the Monterey and the San Francisco Bays, create a particularly long growing season that allows the berries to reach full maturity with concentrated color and rich flavors. On the Fellom Ranch on Monte Bello Ridge, the shallow, stony soils control vine growth, resulting in smallish berries with intense flavors, structure and deep color.

Typical characteristics of the vineyards are mint, eucalyptus, herb, mineral, cherry and a terroir quality unique to the Santa Cruz Mountains.
