Tasting notes
Medium ruby-purple colored, the 2016 Pinot Noir Bondi Home Ranch gives a nose of dried mulberries, crushed black raspberries and blueberry compote with hints of underbrush, lavender, rose hip tea and Chinese five spice. Full-bodied, super rich and super spicy in the mouth, it features a velvety texture and lively sparks of freshness to beautifully support the generous fruit, finishing long and fragrant. 764 cases produced.

The 2016 Pinot Noir Bondi Home Ranch emerges from the coolest site Martinelli works with. The colder microclimate yields a Pinot with distinctly floral/savory overtones. Rose petal, lavender, mint, game, smoke, earthiness and tobacco are all beautifully delineated throughout. A closing burst of acid perks up the finish in a complex, multi-dimensional Pinot endowed with tons of character.
About the producer
Martinelli is a Sonoma benchmark for vineyard-designate bottlings—wines built to highlight how strongly a single site can shape Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, and Zinfandel. Across the range, the focus stays consistent: small-production bottlings that feel distinctly tied to where they’re grown.
