Almost Syrah like in nose, color and body - this is an amped up Cali PN with 15% ABV - I will say that it carries the alcohol well and doesn’t feel to hot or heavy - red fruit on the fragrant nose. A touch sweet for me. I think this is a PN for those that don’t like traditional lighter bodied, elegant PN’s

Ashamed to say that this was the last bottle of a very long night of celebration. I can honestly say I saved the best for last, even though I have a bit of a foggy memory of it. Similar to prior notes, featuring ripe red fruit, a silky palate delivery and a lasting finish. The fruit here is just stellar and is the highlight of this beautiful Pinot. Lucious red cherry notes predominate.

Another favorite from the Martinelli Pinot Noir lineup. This exhibits cherry and raspberry fruit with soft entry and expressive on the palate. A bit of richness/ripeness, but never cloying or out of balance. High alcohol, but no burn whatsoever. Nose and palate in synch.

A scary good Pinot on Halloween. Waves of red fruit with moderate acidity. Red raspberry and bright red cherry fruit with outstanding mouthfeel and palate attack. Some unique caramel element underlying the fruit, almost a sweet burst. Rich but maintains balance. High alcohol but did not experience any burn. Love their Pinot line-up.
