The 2019 Pinot Noir Bondi Home Ranch is bold and lush in its first impression. Succulent red cherry, spice, dried cherry, tobacco and cedar make a strong opening statement. This racy, luscious Pinot has a ton to offer. It is also one of the most forward, ripe wines in the range. The long growing season in this Green Valley site yielded a Pinot endowed with tons of creaminess. The Bondi Ranch is one of the few Martinelli Pinots to incorporate the Calera clone with the Dijon clones that are much more typical in the family's ranches.
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.
