Earthy and brooding with blackberry, olive tapenade and dried herbs. The fruit shows restraint rather than power, carried by firm tannins that grip without overwhelming. A more restrained expression that drinks well now but won't improve significantly with age.

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.
