Alluring aromas of strawberries, cocoa dust, and red cherry are found in the nose. Velvety from entry to mid-palate with flavors of milk chocolate and red cherry. With hints of red plum present in the smooth and composed finish. 

This wine is a barrel-blend from select Martinelli single vineyard zinfandel sites: Jackass, Vellutini, Lolita and Giuseppe & Luisa. Our Vellutini, Lolita and Giuseppe & Luisa vineyards were planted with cuttings from our 135 year-old Jackass Zinfandel clones. These vineyards are grown in cool regions of the Russian River Valley, allowing the deeper, dark flavors to develop in the grapes versus black pepper, characteristic of warmer vineyard sites. It is named for Evo Martinelli, who was raised on Martinelli Road. He was Lee Sr.'s first cousin, the son of Fred Martinelli. Evo gave Lee Sr. one of his first jobs out of the vineyard and instilled the importance of going to college in him as a young man.
Proud to be one of the last bastions of family winegrowing in Sonoma County. Spanning across five generations and more than 135 years, they've farmed the Martinelli estate vineyards with a relentless pursuit of quality and total dedication to our craft. These ideals are shared across their team – from the vineyard to the cellar to the tasting room – and are instilled in everything they do. 
Lee's daughter's are now at the helm of the leadership and winemaking.
