Nice little pinot but man these 2014 Martinelli Pinots could all use about 4-5 years of bottle aging! 1 of 4 brought with us on a little weekend getaway, and was a great accoutrement. Nice acidity, great raspberry grit and had an herbal nose and finish. Really pleased, and even more pleased that the rest are in the lockup where they belong for a few years. — 9 years ago
I think it because more balanced over time, so I'd recommend holding or decanting if drinking in the next year. — 5 years ago
Ok. Not the easiest vintage in SONOMA. You’d never know it. Seamless, complex aromas of sweet tobacco and blackberry and herb and soil. Started with a little oxidation but woke up to deliver its message of power Zin. — 7 years ago



Butterscotch notes. Really good. Drinking well now. — 8 years ago
The Sea Ridge Chardonnay is rich and ample all in the Martinelli style but well balanced. Lemon pie, custard, ripe melons and French oak. Not the most subtle wine but very good in its own right. — 8 years ago
Big, brawny, and more than a bit beefy. Dark purple with a nose of old cigars, bacon grease, and vanilla. Big ol' palate of smoked meat and white pepper. Tons of smoke, along with some dried herbs, and funky dirt. Not a lot of fruit here but you'll discover plums and black cherries eventually. The 15.5% puts out quite a bit of heat. Maybe too much heat. As tasty as this is, I'm not really getting Syrah so much. In the long run that doesn't matter because you should probably drink this. — 9 years ago
Great wine. Sweet but not too sweet. Strong, fruity smell, “lychee” like taste — 6 years ago
One of the better ones — 8 years ago
