| 2014 Martinelli Pinot Noir Blue Slide Ridge Green Valley of Russian River AVA, Sonoma WB Rating: 93 Alcohol by volume: 15.5% Price at time of purchase: $90.00 (Winery) Type: Pinot Noir / Burgundy Principal varietal(s): Fabulous Pinot Noir from a "Grand Cru" site that would now be in the Fort Ross-Seaview appellation. Sensationally rich, complex nose that glides between fruit, floral, spice, earthy scents. Perrforms the magic trick of being almost opulent in the mouth - with palate-coatiung layers of blueberry and raspberry and myriad spicy notes - while at the same time feeling remarkably graceful. Hits my textural sweet spot for Pinot Noir, and is one of the better Pinot's I've ever tasted. - HK 2020-11-22 [Back] |
