Note di degustazione
The 2012 Chardonnay Three Sisters displays loads of honeysuckle, tremendous opulence (which is a hallmark), and plenty of orange mandarin and tropical fruit in a full-bodied but discreetly oaked style. This is a big, rich, delicious Chardonnay, but limited in availability (179 cases). Drink it over the next 5-7 years.

The 2012 Chardonnay Three Sisters Vineyard is very tight today, but it likely won't be released until 2016, so that should not be much of a real issue by then. Brioche, dried pears, lemon oil spices, apricot pit and mint are all nicely delineated, but the 2012 is going to need quite a bit of time to fully emerge. The contrast of stony notes with the typical Martinelli intensity works beautifully in this powerful, coiled Chardonnay.

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.
