($50): The big, heavy, oversized bottle makes me not want to like this wine.  But the first whiff — a combination of red fruits and earthiness — wins you over easily.  It delivers cherry-like fruit and minerals woven into a fine texture.  It’s not the slightest bit heavy, despite its stated 14.8% alcohol.  Indeed, consistent with the Martin Ray style, there is an enchanting lightness for all its power.
