Angeline
About
Premium Pinot Noir
from California
Found at the crossroads of Courtney Benham’s vision, Angeline stands as an emblem of Sonoma County’s heart. Nestled within the Russian River Valley at Martin Ray Vineyards & Winery, Angeline represents pure winemaking – devoted to expressing the essence of each varietal.
Origin
California, USA
Courtney Benham’s journey began in the San Joaquin Valley, igniting his passion for the endless possibilities of grapes. This passion led to the establishment of Angeline in 1990, perfectly situated in Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley – the nurturing cradle of premium wines.

Sustainability
Sustainability Commitment
Angeline’s dedication transcends wine; it champions sustainability. As proud members of Sonoma County Winegrowers Association, they harness solar energy, practice efficient lighting, and invest in water reclamation. Angeline’s devotion to sustainability is a testament to their respect for nature.
Sustainability Key Points Angeline
Their solar energy system supplies over 80% of the winery’s power.
Winery cellar lighting is motion sensitive (lights off in dormant areas), and they are continuing to upgrade to LED lighting in all buildings.
The water reclamation pond has been recently upgraded to better treat winery wastewater through aeration and filtration, and much of it is being reused for landscape irrigation. This is particularly important in this time of drought.
The piping that moves glycol throughout the winery to chill and warm tanks for fermentation and storage has been insulated for efficiency, as well as the tanks themselves to help maintain temperature with minimal energy consumption.
Their inert Nitrogen is generated on-site which doesn’t require compressed gas deliveries by truck.
All grape processing pomace (stems, seeds, skins) is recycled into vineyard and landscaping compost.
