Tasting notes
The 2014 Pinot Noir Moonshine Ranch displays loads of structure, rich kirsch liqueur notes with some licorice and forest floor. The wine has fabulous fruit on the attack, medium to full body, and beautiful ripeness, purity and length. Drink it over the next 12-15 years.

More reviews and scores
A super-classic Russian River wine, the 2014 Pinot Noir Moonshine Ranch offers up a compelling mélange of sweet red cherry, plum, spice, mint and new leather. This is one of the more exuberant wines in the Martinelli range. As such, it will drink very well pretty much upon release. Moonshine is usually one of the first parcels the Martinellis harvest.
About the producer
Martinelli is a Sonoma benchmark for vineyard-designate bottlings—wines built to highlight how strongly a single site can shape Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, and Zinfandel. Across the range, the focus stays consistent: small-production bottlings that feel distinctly tied to where they’re grown.
