The 2009 Zinfandel Vellutini Ranch is a deep, plush wine loaded with black cherries, plums, tobacco, incense, licorice and sweet spices. It shows tremendous depth and persistence throughout. Silky tannins frame a finish laced with chocolate, mocha and licorice. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.
Martinelli is one of the original pioneering families in Sonoma. I tasted a wide range of wines during a recent visit. The 2008 Syrahs, from a challenging vintage, are a bit up and down, but the rest of the wines are all outstanding. As always, these are fairly bold, extroverted wines, but their overall balance is typically superb.
