Better than last notes, but definitely need to let this air out. First taste (cold cellar) a bit bitter, but rounds out nicely with time and air. Not sure this justifies price tag, but clearly not garden variety pinot.

Mostly drank in small wine glass by campfire in Bayfield over a couple hours. Should have come across better, but I was unimpressed. Good, but flavor was just not that interesting. Second Lolita in a row to underwhelm.

Interestingly light in color out of the bottle, but this wine is not light on flavor. Strawberries along with spice give this wine an unexpected lift and freshness. Delicious!

Burgundy color with a bouquet and flavor of raspberries and Pinot Noir spiciness. Good balance with fair nuance and a moderate finish. Pleasant wine but lacking distinction and authority.

Fresh and fruity up front, but just a tiny bit thin. That said, this is very nice overall with strawberry fruit flavors and savory minerality on the finish.

Maybe a little lighter bodied than some other Martinelli Pinots, but very enjoyable. I had this with my wine group at a Turkducken dinner!
