Tasting notes
Produced from Dijon clones 667 and 777, the 2013 Pinot Noir Lolita Ranch emerges from ancient shale soils in the Russian River Valley. This full-bodied wine exhibits a deep ruby color and a big, sweet kiss of wet rocks, strawberry jam, black cherries and berry fruit. A touch of wood spice is also present. Thus multi-dimensional Pinot Noir should drink well for another 5-7 years.

The 2013 Pinot Noir Lolita Ranch captures the generosity of the Russian River Valley beautifully. Dark red cherry, plum, spice and new leather jump from the glass as this juicy, exuberant Pinot shows off its racy personality. Sweet floral notes open up in the glass, but the Lolita remains rich and textured to the core, with plenty of up-front appeal and no shortage of personality.
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.
