The 2009 Pinot Noir Zio Tony Ranch is one of the more exuberant, flashy 2009 Pinots. The fruit is decidedly opulent, a ripe wine that will appeal most to readers who enjoyed the full-bodied style of Pinot. Layers of fruit build towards the big, seamless finish. A touch of alcohol comes through on the finish, but otherwise this is a fine effort. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2020. Martinelli is one of the original pioneering families in Sonoma. I tasted a wide range of wines during a recent visit. The 2008 Syrahs, from a challenging vintage, are a bit up and down, but the rest of the wines are all outstanding. As always, these are fairly bold, extroverted wines, but their overall balance is typically superb. Tel. (707) 525-0570
