The Peter Martin Ray Vineyard is one of the most historic sites in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Peter’s late father, the visionary Martin Ray, first planted vines here in the 1940s. For nearly 80 years, the two small blocks in the hills above Saratoga, retained by the Ray family after the remainder of the estate became Mount Eden Vineyards, have passed the test of time as the origin of some of California's most profound and age-worthy examples of Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir
