Martinelli Pinot Noir Russian River Valley Lolita Ranch 2016

93 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Wine Advocate): "Pale to medium ruby-purple in color, the 2016 Pinot Noir Lolita Ranch has a gorgeous, rock-star perfume of preserved cherries, rose petals, violets and dark chocolate with suggestions of cinnamon stick and forest floor. Big, rich and full-bodied in the mouth, it offers up tons of red fruit preserves and fragrant layers with a plush frame and seamless freshness sparking the finish. 201 cases produced. Drink: 2018-2028. (Apr 2018)"

93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "From a vineyard in the Russian River, the 2016 Pinot Noir Lolita Ranch is bright, lifted and very nicely focused in its red fruit and spice character. The Lolita Ranch is especially vibrant in this vintage, with silky tannins that match the wine's mid-weight structure. Citrus and floral notes add verve to this super-appealing, mid-weight Pinot. Lolita is the first Pinot Noir site Martinelli picks. Drink: 2020-2031. (Apr 2018)"

Producer notes: "Our 2016 Lolita Ranch Pinot Noir has aromas of ripe red fruits, toasted wood, and lilac blossoms. The palate is juicy with raspberry and red currant flavors with a firm acidy and silky finish. 201 cases produced."
