It seems that all of the Martinelli wines get better over time. Ten years old and this wine is singing out of the gate. High alcohol, yes, but it is hidden by the abundance of fruit. Not your old world version of pinot noir, but world class Cali style....

Huge Pinot with some strawberry, blackberry, cinnamon, sassafras flavors. High alcohol, so would serve with a slight chill, but the fruit hides most of the heat. ****

So smooth but also quite melancholy and muted. Cherry fruit among some muted plum. Maybe a little past its drinking window but very smooth.

CHERRIES AND EARTHINESS IN THE NOSE WITH BLACK CHERRIES AND A TOUCH OF LICORICE IN THE FLAVOR. MEDIUM LENGTH FINISH.

Loved it. Full bodied with the distinct Pinot taste.
