Well past it’s drink by date, I was expecting the worst but it was still very drinkable. I’m not as big a fan of the martinelli Syrah as I am if the Pinot or Zin, but this was interesting. It’s mellowed with age, but there is still some fruit. Note to self- drink em younger.

tasted a bit clunky and out of balance. Its a heavy Syrah. Not much acid or tannins. Still a bunch of fruit. In all fairness, the critics (Parker and Wine Spectator) have always liked Martinelli's Syrahs better than I do. Which surprises me, as I have always loved their Pinot Noirs. The wine looks purple colored.

STOP BUYING MARTINELLI SRYAHS. Too expensive, not very good.

I'm not as enamored with this as I was last taste. Still a delightful syrah with dark fruit and smile on the nose and deep stewed fruit taste.

Probably the best Syrah I've ever had. Dark and smokey, dark fruit and buttery finish.
