2021 Martinelli 'Vigneto di Evo' Zinfandel Russian River Valley
The Vigneto di Evo Zinfandel has a nose of bright cherry, notes of dusty herb, and black licorice. The palate develops into rich red cherry, spice and raspberry.
Our tastings with the utterly vivacious Regina Martinelli, sales director for her family's 130-year-old winery, are always showstoppers. Every one of this winery's Chardonnays, Pinots Noirs, Syrahs, and Zinfandels is outstanding. If we know anything about what we're doing, the wines are going to turn you on. They have it all: brilliantly expressive fruit, concentration, and complexity. It's not often that a winery comes by and reminds us why we love wine so much. Put together a mixed case and experience the thrill for yourself. Most of these wines are sold only through the winery and are very hard to find.
