Score 95/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Apr 2018

The 2016 Zinfandel Jackass Hill is powerful, deep and implosive, with tremendous density and tons of energy. Reserved and shy today, the 2016 needs time to unwind, but it offers considerable potential. Bright red cherry, plum, cedar, tobacco, leather and mint all flesh out in the glass, but it is the wine's silkiness and persistence that stand out most. The Jackass Hill is a complete, totally alluring wine. Martinelli's most iconic wine emerges from vines planted in 1899 by Giuseppe and Luisa Martinelli in what remains the steepest vineyard in Sonoma.
