2022 Martinelli ‘Bondi Home Ranch’ Pinot Noir Green Valley

JD96 From the coolest area of the Russian River sites at the estate, the 2021 Pinot Noir Bondi Home Ranch is lifted with candied roses, pine, and pure red cherry. It is full-bodied, with a good spine of acidity, ripe well-balanced tannins, a focused feel, and a long finish with ripe red plum and spices. Drink 2024-2040.
WS95 Loaded, with gorgeous succulent, lush boysenberry, mulberry and açaí berry fruit seamlessly inlaid with singed apple wood, anise and fruitcake details. Gains additional beguilement from a late flash of potpourri and black tea.
VIN93 The 2021 Pinot Noir Bondi Home Ranch Vineyard is one of the riper wines in the range. Sweet dark cherry, spice, leather, vanillin and sweet spice are front and center. The 2021 offers plenty of raciness, if not quite the textural richness that has been the norm here for years. This site in Green Valley is marked by an exceptionally long growing season.
Estate Notes: Our Bondi Home Ranch Pinot Noir opens up with deep aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and allspice. Upon entry, you find the signature earthiness from the long ripening of this vineyard. Integrated tannins on the palate with flavors of red current and black plum carry the long finish.
