Martin Ray 2005 Angeline Riesling (Mendocino County)

  • Best Buy
  1. $14
This is one of the more interesting Rieslings out there, and that’s because it’s very dry, like an Alsatian Riesling. It has crisp acidity and a steely, minerally undertone to the tart green apple, peach and spice flavors. Very nice, versatile at the table, a real sommelier’s wine.  — S.H.  (11/15/2006)

Martin Ray 2005 Angeline Gewürztraminer (Mendocino County)

  • Best Buy
  1. $14
Not from Anderson Valley, but from warmer inland vineyards. This pleasant Gewürz is sprightly in acidity with exotic passion fruit, Asian pear, kumquat, citrus and honeysuckle flavors, and a finish of powdered, dusty Asian spice. If you haven’t had a great California Gewürz in a while, try this one.  — S.H.  (11/15/2006)

Martin Ray 2003 Angeline Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

  • Best Buy
  1. $10
A nice wine with real varietal character, a smooth mouthfeel, crisp acids and ripe flavors of raspberries, cherries and mocha. Try this as a first course leading up to the expensive stuff.  — S.H.  (6/1/2005)

Martin Ray 2003 Angeline Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County)

  1. $14
Shows plenty of coastal Cabernet character at a fair price. Sure, it’s a bit rough, but the cherry-berry flavors, smooth tannins and kiss of oak will nicely accompany foods calling for a dry, full-bodied red wine.  — S.H.  (7/1/2006)

Martin Ray 2004 Angeline Syrah (Dry Creek Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $14
A dry, fruity red wine from a fine appellation. It has sturdy, dusty tannins and bright blackberry and coffee flavors, and enough acidity to cut through any meats or cheeses you can find.  — S.H.  (8/1/2006)

Martin Ray 2004 Angeline Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

  • Best Buy
  1. $10
Continues this winery’s streak of offering a good value under this label. The wine is dry and silky, with pleasant cola, rhubarb, coffee and cherry flavors that are offset by crisp acids.  — S.H.  (4/1/2006)

Martin Ray 2004 Angeline Gewürztraminer (Mendocino County)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $10
Opened with some sulfur which was slow to blow off. Below that is a fairly fruity, dry and spicy Gewurz.  — S.H.  (10/1/2005)

Martin Ray 2004 Angeline Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

  1. $14
Strikes a nice balance of its parts, although it can’t quite overcome its rustic nature. Dry and quite tannic, this Zin shows berry flavors with overtones of earth, coffee and tobacco.  — S.H.  (10/1/2006)
