Martin Ray Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2024 750ml

Martin Ray Sonoma Coast Chardonnay — Sonoma Coast, California 2024

Martin Ray is one of California's most storied names in Chardonnay — a producer with deep roots in Sonoma winemaking whose commitment to sourcing from premium, standout vineyard sites throughout the vast and rugged Sonoma Coast has consistently produced wines that overperform at their price point. The 2024 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is a multi-vineyard blend assembled from the region’s top-performing sites, crafted to pay honorable tribute to the esteemed AVA. The result is a bright, layered, and minerally driven white that earned 93 Points from James Suckling and delivers well above its price.

The nose is fresh and expressive: citrus blossom, green apple, Asian pear, sliced apple, and oyster shell, with lovely aromatic density. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a lively core of lemon curd, crisp pineapple, and citrus zest, framed by subtle oak tones of vanilla and baking spice. The texture is both fresh and rounded, with vibrant acidity and a mineral lift that carries through to a long, clean finish. It is elegant, food-friendly, and deeply satisfying — the kind of Sonoma Coast Chardonnay that disappears fast.

"A solid Chardonnay with sliced apple, lime and oyster shell aromas. It’s medium-bodied with lovely density and hints of nougat, pears and green mangoes." — James Suckling, 93 Points. (Vintage 2024).
