Deep and focused, our Louis M. Martini Gnarly Vine Zinfandel offers classic flavors of jammy plum, dark cherry and blueberry alongside soulful notes of clove and vanilla. Full bodied, the wine is framed by firm but supple tannins and possesses a distinctive minerality characteristic of Monte Rosso wines. The long finish concludes with juicy fruit and rousing notes of cracked black pepper.

Made of 100% Zinfandel aged 15 months in new French (48%) and American (19%) oak, the medium garnet-purple colored 2016 Gnarly Vine Zinfandel Monte Rosso Vineyard opens with incredibly spicy notes of cinnamon stick, cumin seed and Sichuan pepper with a core of raspberry pie, dusty soil, tree bark and underbrush. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it has a wonderfully plush texture and wicked backbone of freshness, finishing long and perfumed.

Full-bodied, dense and layered with amazing fruit. Chocolate, too. Heady and wild. From ancient vines planted in the late 1800s. I love this for its history and reality. Great wine. Drink now.

A zap of red-currant flavor drives this exuberant vintage from Monte Rosso, Martini’s vineyard in the red volcanic hills of Sonoma Valley, where the zin vines date to 1893. It’s a pretty wine, showing its 16.2 percent alcohol in the sweetness of the plump red-berry fruit, a contrast to the spark of mineral umami reduction. Bright and youthful, it will bring its energy to your Fourth of July fireworks.

With an exuberant blackberry nose, this wine is lifted by accents of herbs and earth. Supple tannins support a weighty core of black licorice and currant flavors.
