Found this at a local wine store in the sale bin. Didn’t know if it would still be good, as it has been sitting on a rack in the store at room temperature for 7 years. After about 30 minutes in the glass, this wine was singing. Beautiful nose of cherry cola with baking spices and earth. Gorgeous legs running down the glass, smooth tannins and a medium finish. At 10 years past vintage, this wine still hits the mark. Very nice Pinot!

Drank with family at Phoenix get together. Continues to restore my faith in Martinelli pinots. Just taste good and nice to let linger in the mouth. Fun.

This has calmed down quite a bit over the past 4 years. Still a big brooding RR Pinot. Tons of ripe fruit still, and a tad hot at 14.8%, but this is rather impressive, quite balanced. Moonshine is often one of the more audacious RRV pinots of the Martinelli stable, with clove, sage, raspberry, but this has come together quite nicely. BRAVO. Really worth the trouble for a close look

Excellent. One of the best Martinelli pinots I have tasted recently.

Well executed for the style. This is a Zin lovers' Pinot. I don't have much more to describe beyond that. It's big, juicy and high alcohol.
