March 19, 2023 - An amazing bottle of Chardonnay. Had a little spice and a delicious note of flint, oak, and vanilla. Need to buy more Martinelli in the future. A wonderful bottle of wine!!

July 17, 2022 - This wine is beautiful at 20 years old. Bright, acidic, earthy, well rounded, beautiful golden color. Nothing I was expecting from a 10 year old chard. Sooo good I couldn’t swallow my sips forever. This wine just kept me engaged.

August 27, 2018 - Yellow color with a bouquet and flavor of pineapple and vanilla oak supported by nice acidity. Overall good balance but a bit monotone, lacking in depth and nuance to be exceptional. Still pleasant enough.

September 8, 2017 - Pleasant unctuous mouthfeel but flavor fails to justify the premium paid.
Didn't get all the flavors described in other notes
