We are big Martinelli fans and this one is an example of why... big and full, but super smooth, fully ripe and a pleasure to drink. A wine for real Zin lovers :)

Lighter color for a Zin. Tons of berry and rhubarb on the nose, with a hint of spice. Blackberries and strawberries on the palate, with notes of cardamom and vanilla. Clings to the glass, but finishes a tad short. This might be one of the biggest still wines I’ve ever had at 16.6% ABV, but it doesn’t seem that high. Drink now or hold for another 3+ years.

Big, fruity, a bit jammy, full flavor. What I would expect from a Zin. Can go a lot longer which might mellow it a bit, which would be ok too
