1999 Martinelli Three Colts Vineyard Pinot Noir

"A debut release from the Pinot Noir portfolio is the 1999 Pinot Noir Three Colts. This comes from three young vineyards the Martinellis have planted with 2,000 vines per acre and vertical trellising. It is a powerful Pinot Noir (15.1% alcohol) exhibiting a dark ruby/purple color, sumptuous aromas and flavors of prunes, plums, root beer, cocoa, and cherry liqueur, and an opulent, lush texture." - Wine Advocate
