A fantastic zin! Great dark cherry with a touch of sweetness. Despite high ABV, the alcohol is beautifully integrated. Served with mixed green salad, cacio e pepe, and chicken thighs with Italian herbs. The wine was smooth and rich without being overpowering. One of my favorite vintages from Martinelli. Last of 2 bottles.

Good zin flavor profile: jammy, dark raspberry fruit, appropriately aged given the high abv. Martinelli pushes the boundaries on ripeness at the expense of high heat; the reason I don’t buy their zins anymore.

I Coravin’d this bottle. Its a vibrant, fresh, well delineated and very clean on the pallet. This medium bodied jewel is really good. No sharp edges, pure and sweet. Lots of black and red raspberries. I’m impressed

Bu en même temps que leur Pinot..assez similaire comme profile, c`est dans le surfait et concentré...NOT FOR ME! Profile moderne, un brin sucré...beaucoup de fruits et d`épices. Un brin saturant mais passe mieux que leur pinot je trouve.
