Martin Family Vineyards 2001 The Rooster Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $32
Quite rich and cherry-like. The wine also serves up chocolate, plum, jammy strawberry and anise flavors. It's got a touch of sweetness too--plus plenty of body and smooth, supple tannins.  — J.M.  (3/1/2004)

Martin Family Vineyards 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)

  1. $44
A big, lush and fruity wine, with cherry, plum, coffee, tea and herb flavors up front. This burly, broad-shouldered Cab is full bodied, with powdery tannins and some length on the finish.  — J.M.  (12/15/2003)

Martin Family Vineyards 2001 Rattlesnake Rock Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $32
Cola and cherry notes are at the core of this burly Zin. Tannins are soft, and the flavors are framed by mild spice and toast with hints of black cherry and herbs. It seems a little sweet on the finish.  — J.M.  (3/1/2004)

Martin Family Vineyards 1999 Syrah (Alexander Valley)

  1. $32
Rich, plummy, earthy notes lead off here. The wine is front-loaded with black cherry, plum and herb flavors. However, the earthy qualities tend to overshadow the fruit.  — J.M.  (12/15/2003)

  • Online Exclusive

Cherries and herbs rise to the fore here in this mild mannered wine. Tannins a chewy, and the wine shows moderate length on the finish.  — J.M.  (3/1/2004)

Martin Family Vineyards 2010 Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $19
Showing the briary, brambly side of Zinfandel, this features wild berry, tobacco and spice flavors. Its thinness and impression of sweetness give it a rustic mouthfeel.  — S.H.  (12/31/2012)

Martin Family Vineyards 2001 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

  1. $35
A pleasant enough wine with moderate body and soft tannins. Flavors range from herbal to cherry and plum. An earthy note pervades, however, with a bright finish.  — J.M.  (7/1/2003)

Martin Family Vineyards 2001 Red Rooster Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

  1. $28
The wine has some nice black cherry and berry notes up front, but it’s got too much brightness on the palate. Tannins are mild, but the finish is rustic.  — W.E.  (11/1/2003)
