Note di degustazione
The 50-acre Zio Tony Ranch has produced a 2013 Pinot Noir (the Martinellis only use seven acres of this for their own wine) made from not only Dijon clones 777, but also the Calera clone. This wine reminds me of a grand cru Corton with its notes of sweet, briary black cherry fruit, dusty loamy soil, underbrush and a hint of forest floor. It has great fruit, medium to full body, and a long finish. This Pinot, along with the Bondi Home Ranch, sees the highest percentage of new oak at around 75 percent. Drink this over the next 10-12 years.

The 2013 Pinot Noir Zio Tony Ranch bristles with energy and nuance, both of which serve to balance the typical Russian River juiciness. This is a fairly laid-back vintage for the Zio Tony. There is plenty of darkness, power and overall intensity, but at the same time, bright acidity and salivating minerality contribute tons of energy. The sweet, perfumed finish is a thing of beauty.
Informazioni sul produttore
Martinelli is a Sonoma benchmark for vineyard-designate bottlings—wines built to highlight how strongly a single site can shape Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, and Zinfandel. Across the range, the focus stays consistent: small-production bottlings that feel distinctly tied to where they’re grown.
