Martinez & Martinez 2005 Cesár Red (Horse Heaven Hills)

Martinez & Martinez 2010 Dion Carlo Carmenère (Horse Heaven Hills)

Price $38

Upon first sniff, this could be a Chilean red; but then the warm fruity entry—complete with hints of crushed flower and fresh herb—suggests something else entirely. The wine does not hold together well, turning sour and herbal through the back of the palate. — P.G. (12/31/2012)

points

Martinez & Martinez 2008 Cesar Red (Horse Heaven Hills)

Price $20

Three-quarters Cabernet Sauvignon, this blend also has Sangiovese, Syrah and Merlot. The result is a pleasant, unfocused red wine, with candied flavors of berry and cherry, plus some tannic bite. Drink up. — P.G. (12/31/2012)

Martinez & Martinez 2009 Alder Ridge Vineyard Viognier (Horse Heaven Hills)

Online Exclusive

Price $18

There is noticeable residual sugar, giving the wine a sweet, honeyed flavor. Along with that you’ll find some citrusy fruit, with a bitter edge. — P.G. (12/1/2010)

points

Martinez & Martinez 2009 Dominio de Martinez Cabernet Sauvignon (Horse Heaven Hills)

Online Exclusive

Price $45

A light, pale raspberry flavor seems to run a mile wide and an inch deep. Seeming slightly sugary, this just doesn’t have any weight. — P.G. (12/31/2012)
