2022 Martinelli ‘Zio Tony’ Pinot Noir Russian River Valley

VIN94 The 2022 Pinot Noir Zio Tony Vineyard marries fruit intensity with bright acids. Red-toned fruit, orange peel, spice, mint and white pepper all race across the palate. The Zio Tony is distinguished by bright acids that give the wine palpable drive and tension. The mix of six dfferent clones yields a Pinot of real complexity and character.
