Martinelli Description
The nose reveals an unexpected sweetness, with enticing aromas of candied lemon peel, powdered sugar, and delicate caramel. On the palate, it enters with a rich, full-bodied texture, offering luscious flavors of lemon oil and velvety vanilla cream. The finish is long and indulgent, beautifully rounded by the delightful essence of lemon meringue pie.
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
Matured in 60% new French oak, the 2022 Chardonnay Zio Tony Ranch opens very slowly on the nose, segueing from lemon peel to panna cotta, quince and elderflower. The medium-bodied palate offers expansive, citrus-driven flavors foiled by tangy acidity, and it has a long, latent finish.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
Toasted brioche and cardamom notes are distinctive up front, with honeyed accents to the lemon curd and marmalade flavors and dried mango details at the core of this white's fleshy, rich frame. Peach pastry and salted caramel linger.
