"Coming from the Santa Cruz Mountains, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Peter Martin Ray is a deeper red color and is layered and complete, with fantastic intensity to its notes of cassis, kirsch, fresh flowers, and forest herbs. It has a long-lasting, ripe feel, and the finish is velvety but well-defined. It,s a wine you can use to inch people over to the wines of Ceritas. The berries are tiny in this vineyard, contributing to the profound intensity this wine brings forward."
