February 14, 2015 - Drinking beautifully. Smooth as silk, nice fruit. Somewhat one-dimensional, drink soon/now. Love Martinelli, love Zio Tony.

January 19, 2014 - Usually a favorite producer of mine, this example was a bit of a disappointment for me. Rather one dimensional and lacking acidity without many of the more flamboyant characteristics that this wine will often have.
