A pure ruby color, the 2022 Pinot Noir Zio Tony Ranch is spicy and lifted on the nose with notes of ripe red cherries, lifted bright spices, a hint of white pepper, and wild fresh herbs. Medium-bodied, it displays a more linear approach through the palate, with a lovely level of refinement, fine tannins, a mouthwatering feel, and bright perfume on the finish. It’s long on the palate and will have a good deal of longevity. Drink 2026-2040. One of the most historic names in Sonoma, the Martinellis are sixth-generation winegrowers based in the heart of the Russian River Valley. Prolific farmers, all of their wines come from estate-grown fruit, with 90% of the grapes sold off to other wineries. In addition to focusing on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, they also produce Zinfandel, Syrah, and Muscat of Alexandria. Courtney Robinett Wagoner joined the team in 2015 as the assistant winemaker before being promoted to winemaker in 2017.
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.
