Well, I’m a bit mixed on this one. Upon opening and drinking half the bottle we thought it was a bit grapey. Put it in the fridge for a couple of days and it definitely seems better than the first night. Aromas of red fruits, earthy, and spices. On the bud, it has a nice finish with red cherry, currants, and a spice note. — 23 days ago

Outstanding. Still solidly in its drinking window; classic big, complex Martinelli Zinfandel. Absolute favorite!

The 2020 Chardonnay Zio Tony Ranch is a very pretty, exotic wine. Tangerine oil, passionfruit, dried flowers, mint, almond and chamomile give the Zio Tony a tropical profile that is so attractive. In this vintage, the Zio Tony is a bit lighter in body than it can be, but that is not a bad thing. All the elements are very well balanced throughout. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2023)

Sipping Fine Wine
Martinelli family has been farming in Sonoma County since 1860. Deep Ruby color with aromas of red berry fruit and sweet spices. On the palate ripe cherry and blueberry flavors, with some dried fruit notes, oak, cinnamon spice and cola tones. Fine mouth coating tannins with balanced acidity carry this rich wine to a long finish. Will age well. — 17 days ago
