Martinelli Winery In Photographs



First view from the parking lot!




The first vines as through a looking glass!



 
Worker thinning or pruning of grape leaves.


 
 
General grounds maintenance.

Return view toward the main facility.




Heading toward the wine tasting!




Not forgetting to smell the roses!




But what about the wines?





Let me just say there was a Zinfandel for everyone (not to mention Chardonnay and Syrah), including their 17.2% alcohol giant Martinelli Winery 2012 Vigneto di Evo Russian River Valley Zinfandel which appealed to at least one of our whisky drinking pals, but for us less hardliners, it was the 2012 Martinelli Winery Zinfandel Lolita Ranch Russian River Valley with a closer to the sweet spot 15.9% alcohol. I scored this Zinfandel 92 points.
