| 2012 Martinelli Chardonnay Martinelli Road Russian River, Sonoma, California WB Rating: 92 Alcohol by volume: 15.3% Price at time of purchase: $48.00 (from winery) Type: Chardonnay Principal varietal(s): Chardonnay There seems to be an extra layer of fat to the 2012 Martinelli Road Chardonnay, yet it maintains a pristine clean feel and freshness in the mouth despite its 15.3% alcohol level. Flavors reminded me of liquified pears and banana with buttery baking pastry and a hint of orange blossom honey. And constraining it all a compact, mineral undercarriage. Really lovely Chardonnay that's not remotely tired-feeling as it nears age 4. - HK 2015-12-16 [Back] |
