Note di degustazione
Light yellow-gold. Fresh, mineral-tinged tangerine, quince and sweet butter on the nose, with a gentle floral quality building with air. Green apple, citrus fruit and toasted brioche flavors are deepened by iodine and lees, and perked up by excellent back-end lift and cut. Nothing heavy or loose-knit here but this chardonnay packs a serious punch.

The light green/gold-colored 2008 Chardonnay Zio Tony Ranch reveals more butterscotch, honeyed mandarin orange, citrus oil, brioche, leesy, waxy notes along with full-bodied richness and a California style that mimics a premier cru Meursault with its hazelnut and subtle smokiness. Drink this stunning Chardonnay over the next 7-8 years. The venerable Martinelli winery, one of the iconic families and longtime growers in Sonoma, has turned out another impressive group of wines.

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.
