Juicy and delicious, this was a bit overdone upon the pnp, but blossomed with a decant. Raspberry and blackberry abound. Full body and med-long finish. 90-92

From 136 year old vines, Zin from Jackass Hill. My first introduction to Martinelli, I was so enamored with this wine, I sold over 100 cases of less than 1k made. Lots of rich fruit notes, and with age the structural characteristics have emerged, green and white pepper, finish is smooth and light on tannins. Will hopefully see more such blends from Martinelli. Russian River Valley zin is always a good bet!

Surprised by how rich and full bodied this bottle was. Blackberry with dark fruit, no pepper or spice. Very enjoyable but a fairly big wine.

Blackberry and dark fruits on nose. Not many secondary characteristics. Enjoyable, but not really very unique. Solid Sonoma red.
