Tasting notes
Rich but restrained, this red is impressive, offering a core of mulled raspberry and cherry fruit infused liberally with a rooibos tea accent. A well-imbedded mineral spine provides an impressive counterpoint to the fruit on the finish. Drink now through 2037. 590 cases made.

A pure ruby color, the 2022 Pinot Noir Zio Tony Ranch is spicy and lifted on the nose with notes of ripe red cherries, lifted bright spices, a hint of white pepper, and wild fresh herbs. Medium-bodied, it displays a more linear approach through the palate, with a lovely level of refinement, fine tannins, a mouthwatering feel, and bright perfume on the finish.
The 2022 Pinot Noir Zio Tony Vineyard marries fruit intensity with bright acids. Red-toned fruit, orange peel, spice, mint and white pepper all race across the palate. The Zio Tony is distinguished by bright acids that give the wine palpable drive and tension. The mix of six different clones yields a Pinot of real complexity and character.
About the producer
Martinelli is a Sonoma benchmark for vineyard-designate bottlings—wines built to highlight how strongly a single site can shape Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, and Zinfandel. Across the range, the focus stays consistent: small-production bottlings that feel distinctly tied to where they’re grown.
