Martinelli delivers serious Russian River complexity with forest floor intrigue.
Dark plum and blackberry leap from glass with cocoa undertones. Forest floor earthiness weaves through concentrated fruit. Licorice notes emerge mid-palate, adding savory depth. Silky tannins frame persistent finish. This 2014 hits prime drinking now but rewards patience through 2026. Classic Russian River terroir expression.
