Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2014

(17.3% alcohol): Bright ruby. High-pitched red and dark berry scents are complicated by floral oils, Asian spices and minerals. Deeply pitched but showing unlikely vivacity to its sweet black raspberry and floral pastille flavors thanks to tangy acidity. Fine-grained tannins sneak in late on the clinging finish, with the floral and spice notes repeating.

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.
