Russian River Pinot transcends varietal expectations with Burgundian complexity.
Dark fruit intensity meets ethereal perfume. Blackberry compote mingles with wet earth, anise spice threading through. Cocoa dust coats the palate. Silky tannins frame concentrated plum core. Forest floor whispers emerge mid-palate. Licorice root finish extends endlessly. This 2015 drinks beautifully now but rewards patience. Twenty-year drinking window ahead. Martinelli delivers Pinot of uncommon depth and grace.
🍷 You want Pinot Noir that challenges preconceptions about California elegance versus power.
Pairs with: Duck breast with cherry gastrique, Mushroom risotto with truffle oil, Grilled salmon with herbs, Aged goat cheese
