The Original Martin's Pick Up

Sauvignon Blanc 2018

We really enjoyed this Cab with steak and mashed potatoes. Fruity with cherries and berries in particular. Seems to be low in tannins, with no aftertaste. Will absolutely buy again. — 5 years ago

Tenuta San Guido

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2017

Read the reviews on the 2017 and was intrigued. Opened in the morning and sampled throughout day while raking leaves. Finished at dinner. The wine is precise, balanced and interesting. The tannins dominate and are refined, supple and then linger. The fruit is primarily plum with cherry. Tobacco comes a bit later. No clues how this will evolve but. note to self, wait till 2024 or later to rake the leaves again. — 3 years ago

Martin's Gold Chardonnay 2015

Delicious Chardonnay from French Creek Vineyard. Ali really knows how to make her white wine. Went surprisingly well with stir fry. The ginger really brought out the flavor. — 5 years ago

South Australia Cabernet Sauvignon

I was pleasantly surprised on how nice this wine tasted. It was slightly sweeter than I’m used to. I had it with Sheppard’s pie and it was very tasty. — 4 years ago

Fritzi's Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Had the same vintage as Nacho, I didn’t find the same intensity or length. The wine WAS unique and a bit compelling. It seemed like some over ripe plum/prune character that was a subtle note. There was acid, that played off the length, giving it some legs, but it seemed a bit lean. There too was a green element of leaf as well. The oak and tannin profiles were modest and gave wine a way to express its location. Interesting wine. — 5 years ago
