They begin picking at 2:00 AM in the morning to ensure the fruit arrives cool and fresh. The grapes were fermented with native yeasts in a spontaneous fermentation. The aromatics on this wine are astounding. Varietally correct and quintessentially pinot, the wine is light bodied and a light red-pink in color. But don’t be fooled, the aromas and elegance carry through in the mouth and a lovely finish. The grapes derive from four different pinot noir clones, including Pommard. \u003cstrong\u003eThis pinot noir has a wonderful youthfulness about it that develops into a voluptuous mouth feel with fine tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e. Flavors of dark cherry, rich cola and butterscotch with white pepper and a Burgundian musk cap off the nose. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. Sourced from both the estate and the John Sebastiano vineyard, the wine was in French oak for just under a year. Less than 20% of the wine is aged in new oak, which yields a wine that is fresh, taught, and elegant.

Voluptuous and fruity, even downright racy, this intriguing grape makes inky-red wines that are bold like Cabernet, but more complex and expressive. Martellotto’s epic 2016 vintage comes on strong with blackberry and ripe plum flavors before opening up to reveal notes of dried violet, white pepper, cocoa and fresh sage. Winemaker, Greg Martellotto, sourced the grapes from 40 year old Zaca Mesa vineyard, the oldest Syrah vines in Santa Barbara County and widely considered the birthplace of the ‘Rhone Rangers’ in California’s Central Coast.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIf you’re a love fruit forward and bold wines you’ll fall head over heels for Martellotto’s Syrah 2017, which delivers exuberant flavors without the hefty price tag.

These wines are both more polished and more oaky than the wines that made Bob's reputation, and while I wouldn't mind seeing a subtler touch with new wood, I have been surprised by older bottles often enough not to wish to bet against their aging potential. My \"coup de coeur\" is the Marsanne, available under natural cork from the winery, a cuvée that I suspect will really surprise with a decade of bottle age.

He uses Burgundy and new Syrah barrels for fermentation purposes, allowing for more new oak while “taking the edge off the barrel when used for Syrah.” Following a nose of caramel apple and Bosc pears, the oak notes emerge alongside flavors offering that sensual and textural leesy character.
