Tasting notes
Dark cherry, plum, cola, spice, menthol and leather all race through the 2017 Pinot Noir Bondi Home Ranch. Juicy and supple, with striking fruit depth, the 2017 will be easy to drink and enjoy young. This is another gorgeous, highly pleasing wine from the Martinelli family, and also one of the more overt wines in the range.

The 2017 Pinot Noir Bondi Home Ranch is pale to medium ruby-purple with a nose of licorice, blueberry compote, boysenberry and black cherry preserves, with turned earth and exotic spice in the background. In the mouth, it's light to medium-bodied and silky with concentrated dark fruits, fine grainy tannins to frame and juicy acidity, finishing very long. 775 cases produced.

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.
