Martin Ray planted Pinot Noir at Mount Eden in 1945; the budwood came from Paul Masson’s original vineyard near Mount Eden. Because Masson was a good friend of the Louis Latour family of Burgundy, it is likely the selection came from one of Latour’s vineyards and was brought by Masson to California...
