Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2011

Dark purple. Wild aromas of dark berries, dried violet, black pepper and espresso. Sweet, sappy and slightly high-toned, with gentle acidity and pepper and spice notes giving shape to the black and blue fruit and candied violet flavors. Finishes with firm tannins and very good persistence, repeating the floral note.

About the producer

martinelli
Martinelli

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.
