Note di degustazione
The 2008 Syrah Lolita Ranch boasts gorgeous textural richness and depth. Juicy black cherries, plums, olives, savory herbs and spices flow effortlessly from the glass. The fruit shows tremendous depth and density from start to finish. Layers of dark fruit continue to build in the glass, accented by brighter floral and white pepper notes that add lift. The Lolita Ranch clocks in at 16.8% alcohol, all of which it seems to handle very well.

I tasted a wide range of wines during a recent visit. The 2008 Syrahs, from a challenging vintage, are a bit up and down, but the rest of the wines are all outstanding. As always, these are fairly bold, extroverted wines, but their overall balance is typically superb. Tel. (707) 525-0570
Decadent and full throttle, the 2008 Martinelli Syrah Lolita Ranch hides its 16.8% alcohol admirably and boast tremendous aromatics of smoked meats, bacon fat, melted licorice, violet, and creamy black currant styled fruits on the nose. This leads to a full-bodied, blockbuster Syrah that delivers a lush, rich and mouth coating texture, thrilling levels of fruit, and a long, heady finish. It's not for the faint of heart, and should be consumed over the coming 4-6 years.
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.
