June 2, 2021 - This wine sat in my cellar for almost twenty years. There is something magical about older Martinelli's. I've never had a corked bottle, or one that was over the hill. This is no exception. It would impossible to guess that this is 21 years old. No hint of aging. Great fruit, tannins melted away and perfectly intact. I stopped getting my allocation of Martinelli a dozen or so years ago - just had too many! I still do! But I am thinking of starting up again. Also, their older Chardonnays are truly outstanding...

October 13, 2014 - Earthy bouquet. Cloudy medium garnet color. Very good fruit and nice acidity. Everything in balance and best on the second night. Excellent wine.

January 12, 2013 - Youthful cloudy red ruby, exuberant nose of cran and strawberry w a little spicy earth tannin and alcoholic heat sprinkled in. Racy acids keep this ripe wine in focus and shows yet again what happens over time when grapes are picked nearer to physiologic ripeness eschewing the potential for 2-4 pundit points out of barrel.

December 19, 2012 - Holding OK for 12 year old Cal. Pinot. A little hot/alcoholic first night, best/outstanding second night under pump, in perfect balance. A little flabby third night.
