Dark-fruited Russian River stunner balances power with forest floor finesse.
Deep blackberry and plum aromatics. Rich cocoa notes weave through dark fruit core. Licorice adds intrigue. Forest floor earthiness grounds the wine beautifully. Silky texture carries intense flavors. Long finish reveals spice layers. Drink now through 2027. Martinelli delivers serious Pinot here.
