Red Wine by Rays Station from North Coast, California. In 2005, there was a long, dry season that gave Ray's Station the luxury of some extended hang time for their fruit. As a result, the crop offered an intensity that just naturally suits their style of winemaking. In describing this wine, words like lush, rich, dense and concentrated come readily to mind. Hearty. A wine that can bring out the best in grilled game and fish, same as it can with other bold dishes like stews and extravagantly seasoned red-sauce pastas. Ray's Station decided to add some Syrah, Merlot and just a small amount of Cabernet Franc to this wine to bring about spicy aromatics and plump up the mid-palate. They also aged the wine in small oak barrels, which encouraged cedar and vanilla fragrances to develop. What they ended up with is a dark, ruby-red wine with a fruit-driven nose that hints at black cherry, plums, exotic spice and vanilla. On the palate, the fruit is balanced by tannins that are approachable. Look for a lingering vanilla oak sweetness.
