This is easy...I agree with everyone's notes (as there are NO bad comments). I do slightly disagree with the final window for consumption...I see on about 4 more years. This wine has peaked and will hold for at least a couple more.

Their flagship Pinot doesn't disappoint... super smooth and full of flavor, a CA fruit bomb. Nobody would mistake this for a French Burgundy, it's just too big for that. We loved it, are thrilled to have two more bottles.

Restores my faith in Martinelli pinots after drinking a bunch of the highly touted ones like Aubert and Kistler/Oxy. This cuvee (their highest price) holds up well with those. Round, full, great nose and long finish. Great on the palate. Still has upside to boot.

Burgundy color with a bouquet and flavor of blueberries, raspberries, and cherries, with some cola and earth notes. Wonderful balance with great depth and nuance. This is what Pinot Noir is all about. This is a wow.

Blue fruit for sure; nicely balanced; alcoholic but in balance. No acid balance to this wine, but does not hurt its flavor profile. Nice and straightforward, just nothing super spectacular. QPR not the best.

Rich bold ripe Pinot. Notes of black cherry.

Loved it, a big CA Pinot bursting with flavor; classic Martinelli. Needs a few years to get really smooth, will be an absolute killer.
