Pinot

The 2002 Martinelli "Bella Vigna" Pinot Noir, Sonoma was fantastic, as almost all of my experiences with their Pinot Noir's have been. While high in alcohol (14.8%), the wine showed hints of elegance tied in with all of that power. Martinelli has a signature richness - an almost thick quality - on the mid-palate that I don't find in anyone else's wines - almost strawberry Jolly Rancher.
