Martinelli Pinot Noir Bondi Home Ranch 2022 750ML

Martinelli Description

The Bondi Home Ranch sits at the southernmost tip of the Russian River Valley in the Green Valley AVA in Sebastopol. Lee Martinelli Sr. inherited this ranch from his uncle when it was still an apple orchard and has since converted the 20 acres to Pinot Noir grapes. The vineyard is planted with eastern exposure, which promotes even ripening with all day sun. The cool breeze from the sea rises in the late afternoon, skimming along the distant bank of fog, relieving the vines from the afternoon heat, and enhancing slower ripening. The clones are 115, 777, 667, 828, 943 and Calera. Bondi Home Ranch has the longest growing season of all our vineyards; it is the first to bloom and the last picked.

Vinous: 93 Points

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Bondi Home Ranch Vineyard emerges from a site in Green Valley?a vineyard with a long growing season. The later harvest results in a Pinot with exotic raciness and ripeness, but is also buffered by bright acids. The Bondi Home Ranch is distinguished by its exuberant, super-ripe profile?almost Zinfandel-like."-Antonio Galloni
