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! — a month ago
Needs a ton of air, no surprise here with this producer. Solid potential for 95+ with more cellar time. — 2 days ago

12 months in oak and 6 months bottle aging before release.
Deep ruby red.
Black cherries, wild berries and dried herbs on the nose.
Medium bodied with finely knit tannins.
Dark plums, milk chocolate…(thanks Merlot) and leather.
Smooth finish. This wine loves food and is ridiculously inexpensive.

At Pesach so glassware was hit and miss. Lots of miss.
This is consistently a marvel of high altitude, no toast(steamed)barrel, various wood Nebbiolo.
After 10-15 mins open the nose is like the most intense, ethereal fraises de bois. Intermingled with fine rocks and wood. Bright!
On the palate, it’s redolent of high altitude tiny berries, transparent and lively, gripping your lower front gums with a hint of licorice.
The only issue may be finding the generosity to share it.
