2016 Martinelli Pinot Noir Moonshine Ranch

The 2016 Pinot Noir Moonshine Ranch is ripe, racy and voluptuous, all while retaining the mid-weight feel that is typical of the 2016 Pinots here. Succulent dark cherry and plum fruit flesh out in this pliant, wonderfully inviting Pinot. Hints of spice, leather and tobacco add the closing layers of nuance. I would prefer to drink this forward Pinot over the next decade or so.
