"Coming from the estate's coolest Russian River Valley vineyard, which is also the first to bloom and last to come in at harvest, the 2022 Pinot Noir Bondi Home Ranch pours a deeper ruby red color and offers deeper layered, savory aromas of kirsch, pine, ripe spice, and pressed flowers, and mossy forest earth. Mouthwatering and persistent from the jump, it's pure and long on the palate, with a broader feel, ripe tannins, and balanced, fresh acidity. This feels the most like the grand cru of these wines from Martinelli and really takes things to the next level in terms of completeness. Offering a lasting touch of incense on the back palate, it sure is fantastic now, and it's only going to improve with time. Drink over the next 15 or more years."

"This plays to ripeness, with the range to support it, offering a mix of raspberry and boysenberry coulis notes alongside a melted licorice accent, plus sassafras and sweet spice hints. A brushstroke of licorice snap adds length and a bit of bling on the finish. This feels fancy. Drink now through 2034. —J.M."
