2018 Martinelli Giuseppe & Luisa Zinfandel, Russian River Valley, USA (750ml)

TASTING NOTES:

The 2018 Zinfandel Giuseppe & Luisa is, in my view, once again the most distinctive Zinfandel in this range. Bright acids, floral overtones and chiseled red fruit scream with Russian River character. Medium in body, gracious and beautifully perfumed, the Giuseppe & Luisa is flat-out gorgeous. I loved it. Drinking window: 2023 - 2033.

The 2018 Zinfandel Giuseppe and Luisa has a medium ruby color and an elegant profile, with a nose of saline, apricots, raspberry and strawberry, plus notes of black tea, blood orange and earth. Medium-bodied, it has a silky texture and nuanced flavor layers with seamless freshness and a long, layered finish.

WINEMAKER'S NOTE:

Our 2018 Giuseppe & Luisa Zinfandel has deep aromas of boysenberry, stone fruits, and sweet leather explode and engulf your nose. Supple tannin's take the sweet flavors of black plum, raspberry, and white peach through to a long, full finish.
