2022 Martinelli Jackass Hill Zinfandel | Russian River Valley California 750ml

A transparent deep ruby red color, the 2022 Zinfandel Jackass Hill is a refined wine, with serious aromas that continuously evolve in the glass, layered with elegant notes of sandalwood, menthol, red-berried liqueur, cherries, dried apricot, polished leather, and forest floor. Medium-bodied, it brings tremendous purity and an incredibly long palate. It's got real underlying structure that lasts for ages on the palate, with notes of wet stone and rich mineral persistence. It's not a joyful wine, but it's only going to improve if given a chance in the cellar. Drink it over the next 15 or more years. This is built for the long haul. | 96 points, Audrey Frick for jebdunnuck.com

Stunning aromas of fresh raspberries, stone fruit, and sweet barrel spice on the nose. Mouthcoating upon entry with a constantly evolving palate filled with the flavors of hibiscus tea, nectarine, and raspberry.
