Love how Martinelli Family can take a high alcohol wine and make it o' so good! Deep dark purple in the glass, smoke, muddled blueberries-long smokey/spicy finish.

A big slobbery kiss of black cherry deliciousness. Too out of balance to be truly great, bit really yummy today. $59.99

Martinelli jumped off the wine list for me tonight. I don't see 2011 Zins on the list often, anywhere. This was very smooth and well balanced and was well received by all at the table.

Super flowery for a sin. Solid and well bodied and well defined. Not too acidic. Love it.
