Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Rather consistent with very good Pinot from the RRV. If served blind, I would have guessed RRV. Not sure I would have been able to peg Martinelli fruit, but this is definitely made in a similar style. Nose of herbs, cola, black cherry. Entry is black tea, mint, black cherry, cola to the middle. Has a tiny bit of a sharp tart bite to the finish. Really enjoyed this on an impromptu stop to this place a couple of years ago, and think I enjoy it a bit more now. I think this wine will hold rather well, but is drinking pretty darn good right now.

Quite nice. Although lacking structure. Would like a bit more acidity. Mid palate is lacking. But there's a nice funk throughout.
