Tasting notes
Displaying oak along with good structure, the deep ruby/purple-colored 2001 Pinot Noir Zio Tony Ranch offers impressive fruit on the attack, medium to full body, and a plump, rich, blueberry, cherry, and mineral-dominated finish. I would not be surprised to see it last and evolve for 10-12 years. Tel. (707) 525-0570; Fax (707) 525-0570

(15.6% alcohol) Good deep red-ruby. Bright, complex nose combines flowers, pepper, meat and chocolate. Sweet and sappy, with precise flavors of spicy dark berries and chocolate. I never would have guessed the alcohol here. Offers an exhilarating sugar/acid balance and finishes with firm, rather suave tannins and very good cut.
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.
