From the famous Martinelli family, the 2013 Chardonnay Zio Tony Ranch (planted in 1990 in the heart of the cool Green Valley of the Russian River) is fashioned from Dijon clone 76, bottled without filtration, and sees 50% new oak. Abundant leesy, waxy, lemon meringue, caramelized citrus, honeysuckle, poached pear and tropical fruit notes are found in this medium to full-bodied white along with brilliant purity and nuanced background oak. It should drink beautifully for 7-8 years, possibly longer. Sadly, only 380 cases were produced.
