Martinelli delivers Russian River magic in brooding, complex style.

Dark aromatics emerge immediately. Blackberry mingles with forest floor earthiness. Plum richness carries weight without heaviness. Cocoa undertones add sophistication. Licorice spice threads through mid-palate. Tannins grip gently. Acidity maintains freshness despite concentration. This 2013 shows perfect maturity - primary fruit evolved into something deeper. Finish lingers with mineral precision. Classic Russian River character elevated.
