Mayro-Murdick

Mike and Tina Cox, the husband-and-wife team behind Mayro-Murdick, have always loved Pinot Noir and have spent considerable time learning about and exploring the great Pinot Noir growing regions around the world. Both bring extensive wine experience to the partnership—Mike has almost two decades of experience making pinot noir and is well-recognized and lauded as a pinot noir winemaker. Tina also comes from a distinguished career in wine marketing. A decade-long dream became reality with the introduction of two unique wines from Mayro-Murdick—2005 Mayro-Murdick from the cool Carneros region of Napa Valley, where wines develop a bold spice and sweet cherry finish, and 2006 Hunterdon from the well-regarded Santa Lucia Highlands appellation on California’s Central Coast. Here, the cool Monterey climate maintains optimum acidity to balance the grapes’ rich cherry character. Each wine is unique, representing the best of its’ growing region and both pair exceptionally with food. While stylistically different, both Mayro-Murdick and Hunterdon have loyal followings, and continue to receive critical praise.

The name Mayro-Murdick (www.mayro-murdick.com) is a combination of the first names of Mike and Tina’s paternal grandfathers. They’ve involved the rest of their family too—Anne Cox, Mike’s mother, creates sumptuous recipes to pair with Mayro-Murdick wines.
