Note di degustazione
Readers looking for a grand cru Chablis-like white should check out the steely, liquid minerality of the 2000 Chardonnay Martinelli Road. It reveals some tropical fruit notes, but the crisp acidity and high-toned mineral notes make for an intriguing, distinctive, full-bodied, intense Chardonnay. It should drink well for 5-6 years. Tel.

Slightly hazy. Complex nose melds lemon custard, hazelnut, hay, clove and minerals. Fat and opulent in the mouth, with flavors of lemon and pineapple and a thoroughly silky texture. From ten-year-old vines in a site adjacent to the Martinelli Family's Jackass Hill vineyard. Seems to combine the best traits of this winery's other 2000 chardonnays.
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.
