1994's Martinelli

I truly believe that Red Wine is not only good for health (as compared to ther alcohols) but alsoa heavenly pleasure for one to enjoy esp when in super good (or perhaps down) mood :X


In the show which i have just finished watching recently, Martin Ko (the handsome lead actor) brought Becky (the lead actress of course) to a very nice winery and tasted "1994's Martinelli"


















TASTING NOTES
"The 1994 Zinfandel Jackass Hill Vineyard (from an incredibly steep vineyard planted in 1887) will be released in September, 1996. Possessing slightly less alcohol (14.8%) than its sibling, it is an awesome Zinfandel that rivals the extraordinary 1994 Hayne Vineyard Zinfandel produced by Turley Cellars. Zinfandel fanatics should do everything possible to latch onto a bottle of Martinelli Zinfandel from their Jackass Vineyard. There are two offerings, one with the Jackass Vineyard designation, and the other from the Jackass Hill Vineyard. Both are extraordinary Zinfandels, with the Jackass Hill revealing more complexity. Both wines are at the pinnacle of the Zinfandel qualitative pyramid. Martinelli's Zinfandel is amazingly rich and unctuous, with huge flavor concentration, and a blockbuster finish that must be tasted to be believed. If Chateau Rayas could make an even more concentrated wine than they did in 1990, it might resemble what Martinelli has accomplished in 1994 with these two exquisite Zinfandels."
