Martinelli Description
The nose is nuanced with aromas of hibiscus tea, creamed coffee, and wild blackberries. Present tannins do not hide the beautiful black plum and clove flavors in the mouth. The finish is surprisingly elegant and long with a lingering blackberry flavor.
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
Ripe, rich and silky in feel, offering a gorgeous range and mouthfeel, with raspberry and blood orange pâte de fruit notes draped over rooibos tea, rosehip and singed vanilla notes. All of the elements meld nicely through the long, licorice-accented finish.
Vinous: 94 Points
The 2022 Pinot Noir Moonshine Ranch Vineyard is ensowed with notable textural richness and breadth. It also shows a darker fruit profile than some of the other wines in this range. A powerhouse Pinot, the 2022 is going to need a few years to be at its most expressive. Bright acids and veins of supporting tannin suggest it will drink well for many years to come. Hints of lavender, baking spice and leather linger.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
The 2022 Pinot Noir Moonshine Ranch is reluctant on the nose, demanding air to reveal scents of raspberry and strawberry preserves, pipe tobacco and earth. The light-bodied palate is soft and inviting with elegant flavors, fireworks of fresh acidity and a touch of new oak spice on the finish. Give it a year or two in bottle or a couple of hours in a decanter. 341 cases produced.
