Cherries, juicy but not overpoweringly acidic, wood, velvety mouthfeel, vanilla, light tannins. Delightful! — 3 years ago

Wow! The nose on this is spectacular. Wild blueberries, spices, fresh walk in the woods, and flowers. The feel and flavor in the mouth are so great. More blueberries, herbs, spices with perfectly integrated tannins. A balance between bandol and new world. — 6 years ago
Amazing floral notes, complex palate, wonderful! Enjoyed with a cheese and meat board. — 7 years ago
Surprisingly complex and nuanced. There is an undeniable floral component to this wine that is quite atypical for Zinfandel. Mineral-laced, spicy, elegant and simply delicious. Aside from a hint of blueberry jam this is in no way your typical Dry Creek Zinfandel. Weight and texture are beautiful. Loving the lavender and violets. Easily the best wine I’ve had from Maple Vineyard. This is Zin! — 8 years ago
Martinelli family has been farming in Sonoma County since 1860. Deep Ruby color with aromas of red berry fruit and sweet spices. On the palate ripe cherry and blueberry flavors, with some dried fruit notes, oak, cinnamon spice and cola tones. Fine mouth coating tannins with balanced acidity carry this rich wine to a long finish. Good now will age a bit! — 2 years ago

This was terrific. 16 years in. Softening. Still holding onto those leathery notes. Good stuff. — 5 years ago
Smells of plum and blackberries, thyme, and leather. Medium-high acid, medium body, high tannins. Bright cherry, juicy. Doesn't have the same heavy smokey quality that weighs fine many zinfandels. — 6 years ago
Excellent orange wine- preferred slightly cooled, aired out in a decanter — 7 years ago

My last bottle from the defunct yet memorable winery.
Smells so delicious, like a fruit yogurt
This drinks like it is fresh, with blackberry bramble, subtle and unique red fruits tucked behind the leather ones.
Tannins are still very gripping, and the acidity tames it back. A touch of heat and its off to the races! — 3 years ago
