2004 Martinelli Seven Mules Vineyard Pinot Noir
Written By: Michael Zimberg on Tuesday, July 29, 2008
Almost a desert pinot, this is lush and very sweet. Bordering on too much. Its got candied cherries, wet dirt, and some brooding forest flavors. The alcohol sticks out like I sat on a thumb tack and the wine lacks balance. While I respect Martinelli and have been on their mailing list a while, I'd pass on this one. Retail $50.

Michael Zimberg has intuition when it comes to wine. Somehow, some way, he is able to spot the best deals and the best food and wine pairings. Mikey's wife, Jill, attributes it to a naturally well-defined sense of taste and smell, combined with a healthy dose of experience. Whatever it is, his reviews shouldn't be missed.

nice, honest review. One thing that turns me off on a wine is unbalanced alcohol. That's a killer for me.
