Score 91/100 · Drink 2015-2020, Robert Parker, Dec 2014

The 2012 Zinfandel Lolita Ranch (15.9% alcohol) reveals gorgeous notes of cured meats, licorice, roasted herbs, blackcurrants and black cherries. Supple and full-bodied with a medium ruby color, it is ideal for drinking over the next 4-5 years.

Score 91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2014

Inky ruby. Blueberry, cherry, licorice and fresh flowers on the perfumed nose. Sweet dark berry flavors show very good energy thanks to bright, tangy acidity and a hint of white pepper. Supple tannins shape the finish, which clings with excellent tenacity and echoing florality. This is the lowest-octane zin in this year's set of releases, checking in at "only" 15.9% alcohol.

About the producer

Martinelli

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.
