Martinelli - one of the most famous and best Zin makers!
Martinelli Winery has been family-farmed in Sonoma County since the 1880s. Long recognized as one of California’s original cult Zinfandel producers, Martinelli built its reputation on intensely concentrated, limited-production wines from old-vine Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast vineyards. Their bottlings, often drawn from century-old hillside plantings, are rare, small-lot, and consistently sought after by collectors, making them benchmarks for serious Zinfandel and Pinot Noir in California.
2023 Martinelli Zinfandel Vigneto di Evo...$32.99
Martinelli’s Vigneto di Evo Zinfandel 2023 is a small production barrel-blend drawn from four of the estate’s most revered single-vineyard sites—Jackass, Vellutini, Lolita, and Giuseppe & Luisa. Aged 10 months in French oak (40% new), this robust yet nuanced expression brims with vibrant aromas of raspberry, dark cherry, and molasses, leading to a mouthwatering palate of red currant, pomegranate, and subtle rhubarb, all carried by lively acidity, balanced tannins, and a lingering finish of creamy vanilla. Limited in availability, only 1,600 cases were produced, underscoring its rarity and desirability among collectors and enthusiasts alike

Plump and jammy yet well-sculpted, this Zin offers rich and generous flavors of black cherry and raspberry laced with bittersweet mocha, savory pepper and anise notes as this builds polish toward plush tannins. Drink now through 2033
