Creamy yet electric, with Meyer lemon, white peach and crushed oyster shell driving the aromatics. The palate shows remarkable tension. Rich without weight, mineral-driven yet generous. Those 1981 vines deliver serious concentration and a finish that lingers with saline precision.

Martinelli

A Russian River Valley institution built on old-vine Zinfandel and single-vineyard Pinot Noir. The Martinelli family has farmed the same rugged Sonoma hillsides for generations, producing wines that are dense, site-specific, and unambiguous.
