We’ll keep this simple since we know we'll sell out (today) of the remarkable new 2007 Martinelli Pinot Noir. Don't miss this wine if you dream of $300 Pinot Noir at 1/4 the price because this sumptuous juice is sourced from the exact same vineyard, “Bondi Home Ranch,” and hand crafted by the exact same rock-star winemaker, Helen Turley, as the prized Marcassin “Bondi Home Ranch” Pinot that currently sells for $299 per bottle! Our total allocation equals only 10 cases so ORDER NOW. P.S. if you’re looking for MARCASSIN Pinots, call us because we do have a few in our secret stash here!
THE WINE INSIDERS Tasting Notes:
“Dense, deep, earthy, black currant, and dark fruit notes intermixed with black tea, sweet tobacco, semi-sweet chocolate, plus a hint of savory spices on the finish. This prodigious wine will enhance a wide array or roasted game tonight (after decanting ½ hour) or any evening over the next 5 – 7 years, peaking around 2014 in our estimate.”
HISTORY:
Since 1896, five generations of the Martinelli family have worked together producing apples and wine in Sonoma County. Now located just west of Santa Rosa near the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County, Martinelli winery has built its reputation for the last two decades selling HUGE, fruit-driven Zinfandels that are strong in alcohol (their most famous Zinfandel is the Jackass Hill vineyard). Today, perhaps the most famous winemaker in California, Helen Turley, crafts luscious wines with highly concentrated fruit of many varietals, including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, etc. FYI, the only other Pinot Noir Helen Turley crafts are under her own “Marcassin” label and these cult wines normally sell for $300+ per bottle. These wines consistently win awards, score high in the so-called expert’s ratings, and, most importantly taste great!
FUN FACT:
The Pinot Noir grape originated in the Burgundy region of France where the winemakers pride themselves on producing subtle wines with light fruit and mineral flavors. This sensational Martinelli Pinot Noir would be considered the “brazen young cousin” to these wines with significantly stronger berry tastes and approximately 20% higher alcohol content. Some wine snobs may disparage this “new” style of stronger wines but we say “bring us more!” |
