It's always a pleasure to taste with the Martinelli family, who are among the early pioneers of high quality grape growing and winemaking in Sonoma County. This year, the Chardonnays are particularly impressive. As always, Martinelli aims for a ripe style and wines built on texture. The wines are super-intense and racy. When all the elements come together, the wines are thrilling. Personally, my favorite wines in this range tend to come from the family's vineyards on the true Sonoma Coast, where the underlying minerality of these rugged sites provides a natural counter to the ripe, rich fruit Martinelli farms.

Winemaker Bryan Kvamme said that 2011 was "stressful all spring and maybe even more so as harvest came up because we wound up taking in fruit three weeks later than normal." The slow uptake of sugars helped to preserve freshness but "the yields were painfully low." What fruit was taken in "had really good concentration," he noted, "and the wines have a purity to them that makes them attractive right now." When it comes to new oak treatment, which has always been highly favored here, Kvamme said "there's no recipe for us, we let the wine choose the percentage that it needs."
