1999 Martinelli Charles Ranch California (750ml)
List Price:

$39.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 90 | |||||
| Honeyed pineapple, orange, marmalade, minerals, and butter characterize the full-bodied, surprisingly nuanced, and stylish 1999 Chardonnay Charles Ranch. With only 13.4% alcohol, this wine possesses little power, but there is liquid minerality underneath all the fruit. Citrus oils also make an appearance. | |||||
1999 Martinelli Woolsey Rd California (750ml)
List Price:
|
$39.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 90 | |||||
| "The 1999 Chardonnay Woolsey Road (13.4% alcohol) shows attractive, steely, mineral and orange characteristics, medium to full body, excellent purity, and a Chablis-like character. Elegant and rich, it is destined to last for 4-5 years." | |||||
1999 Martinelli, Martinelli Road California (750ml)
List Price:
|
$39.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 91 | |||||
| "The 1999 Chardonnay Martinelli Road (a Chardonnay vineyard that is essentially the lower slopes of the Jackass and Jackass Hill Zinfandel vineyards) offers steely, waxy, buttery tropical fruits, great ripeness, good underlying acidity, smoky, leesy characteristics, and a full-bodied, fruit-dominated finish. It should drink well for 2-3 years. It offers a slightly reserved/restrained style." | |||||
2000 Martinelli Blue Slide Ridge California (750ml) |
$134.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 93 | |||||
| The outstanding, opaque purple-colored 2000 Pinot Noir Blue Slide Ridge is a powerful offering (15% alcohol). It is a full-bodied, Burgundian-styled effort displaying notes of blackberries, blueberries, violets, minerals, and smoke. This stunning 2000 is dense, thick, and juicy, with vibrant acidity (remarkable given its weight and richness). It will drink well for a decade. | |||||
2000 Martinelli Charles Ranch California (750ml)
List Price:
|
$29.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 89 | |||||
| "The 2000 Chardonnay Charles Ranch exhibits a surprisingly evolved color, and high acidity. It is somewhat monolithic, and the acids are poking through, giving it a tartness atypical for Martinelli. This was the last Chardonnay vineyard to be harvested in 2000, and perhaps it never achieved the ripeness of the other vineyards. Nevertheless, there is abundant fruit (candied citrus and apples) as well as a spicy quality. Drink it over the next 3-4 years." | |||||
2000 Martinelli Gold Ridge California (750ml)
List Price:
|
$49.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 90 | |||||
| "The 2000 Chardonnay Gold Ridge Vineyard reveals a greensih hue to its light straw color as well as notes of smoke, honeyed fruit, cloves, and exotic tropical fruits in te background. Lusty, rich, and concentrated, with zesty underlying acidity, it should drink well for 3-5 years." | |||||
2000 Martinelli Woolsey Rd California (750ml)
List Price:
|
$39.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 91+ | |||||
| "The intriguing, earthy, leesy, smoked beer nut aromas of the 2000 Chardonnay Woolsey road belies its medium gold color. It has great up-front fruit, wonderful sweetness and flesh, and a long, full-bodied, concentrated finish." | |||||
2000 Martinelli, Martinelli Road California (750ml)
List Price:
|
$49.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 90 | |||||
| "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." | |||||
2004 Martinelli Three Sisters California (750ml) |
$88.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 93 | |||||
| The late-released 2004 Pinot Noir Three Sisters Vineyard Sea Ridge Meadow (734 cases) shows gamey, meaty notes with hints of underbrush, gun flint, black cherry, and raspberry. It is rich, full-bodied, powerful, and quite long and heady. There is some tannin still to be resolved, but this wine should age nicely for at least a decade." | |||||
2004 Martinelli, Moonshine Ranch California (750ml)
List Price:
|
$75.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 92 | |||||
| The extroverted 2004 Pinot Noir Moonshine Ranch boasts a dense ruby/purple color and a big, sweet nose of blackberries, forest floor, dried herbs, raspberries, and sweet cherry liqueur. Dense, rich, and full-bodied, this is a knock-out, full-throttle Pinot Noir to drink over the next 7-10 years. | |||||
2005 Martinelli Bondi Home Ranch California (750ml) |
$78.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 90 | |||||
| "the 2005 Pinot Noir Bondi Home Ranch Water Trough Vineyard shows loads of tannin, a greener, cooler character, with plenty of pomegranate, sour cherry, menthol, and forest floor. It tastes more like a Loire Valley wine than the typical Pinot Noir from Sonoma. Nevertheless, it has fine ripeness, medium body, and good underlying acidity." | |||||
| Wine Spectator 92 | |||||
| Intense, ripe and fleshy, with rich currant, black cherry and wild berry fruit that's deep and well-centered, with hints of anise and cedar. Ends with a fruity aftertaste that's complex and focused. Drink now through 2010. | |||||
2005 Martinelli Zio Tony Ranch California (750ml) |
$72.00
|
||||
| Robert Parker 91 | |||||
| "The 2005 Pinot Noirs also showed well, with the 2005 Pinot Noir Zio Tony Ranch dark ruby with notes of pomegranate, sweet and sour cherries, a hint of spice, and a medium to full-bodied, concentrated palate." | |||||
| Wine Spectator 92 | |||||
| Savory aromas of earthy cherry, earthen floor, mushroom and spice. The Pinot Noir fruit is pure, rich and focused on the palate, with a long, detailed finish. Drink now through 2011. | |||||
