Martinelli Pinot
2004 Zio Tony Ranch Pinot Noir
My wife and I are just finishing a bottle of this wine now. These guys say it best,
"A Pinot with grace, finesse and polish, with layers of smoky, creamy cherry cobbler flavors, right down to the crust. Elegant and polished, it keeps repeating the tantalizing flavors. " - 91 points, James Laube, Wine Spectator
"The 2004 Pinot Noir Zio Tony Ranch shows plenty of raspberry, soy, and fig notes along with hints of pomegranate and cherry. This spicy, full-bodied Pinot reveals nicely integrated oak, a savory, expansive palate, and a heady finish. " - 90 points, Robert M. Parker, Jr.
Only think missing was a rack of lamb to eat with it.
I'm looking forward to the 2006 vintage as Parker gave it a 94. It's not that I follow Parker's suggestions but on this wine he nailed it.
