This 58-acre property in the heart of the Russian River Valley is planted to 42 acres of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The vineyard sits atop a knoll, where the climate is influenced primarily by cooling fog from the Pacific Ocean a few miles to the west.
JEB DUNNUCK 95 POINTS - "A bit of forest earth shines on the nose of the 2024 Pinot Noir Martaella Vineyard, with more organic earthy tones from meter-by-two higher-density plantings. It has refined tannins, with notes of violets, floral perfume, sweet sage, and lasting depth and length. Medium-bodied, with resonant fruit, youthful grip, and silky texture, it should improve over the next several years. Drink 2027-2040."
WINE SPECTATOR 94 POINTS - "This is flattering, with a lovely gush of boysenberry and blackberry compote flavors rolling through. Caressing overall, but there’s buried juicy energy for requisite support. Black tea and licorice chime in on the hedonistic finish. Drink now through 2034."
