More similar to my previous bottles in quality. My last bottle must have been bottle variation because this was another exceptional bottle. Martinelli is an underrated producer of top quality Pinot. It was a terrific bottle and the last of seven I bought at auction. Exceptional QPR

A step slower than my last bottle of this wine. Could have been the stiff competition. Very similar to previous notes except the finish on this one seemed just a little shorter than previous bottles of it. Had at a family birthday dinner at Ruth Chris with two other exceptional bottles. Notes of dark cherries, hint of spices, and a nice pleasant finish. Great bottle by Martinelli. Have two left out of an initial case purchase. Wonderful producer.

A solid effort, but very straight laced. Bing cherry and bright red strawberry fruit. Primary, fruit driven, but also elegant. A good value Pinot Noir that doesn't require too much introspection. Tasted next to the 2016 vintage and my palate could not discern the difference.

Turning into my wife’s favorite pinot, see previous notes. Enjoyed over Valentine’s Day lunch. Great bottle and all of them have been outstanding. Four more left and they are going fast. Exceptional QPR on the auction lot that I purchased.
