Martorana 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Dry Creek Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $45
Amazing extraction on this vigorous young Cabernet, which is much riper and smoother than the 2006 was. Just explodes in ripe summer cherries and raspberries, with a sweet edge of oak. Fuzzy Dry Creek tannins provide the perfect structure.  — S.H.  (12/15/2011)

Martorana 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Dry Creek Valley)

  1. $45
Dry, rugged and brambly. You might almost think it was Zinfandel, it’s so peppery, leathery and briary in wild berry flavors and sandpapery tannins. It’s quite good, in a Dry Creek way. Drink soon for freshness and vitality.  — S.H.  (5/1/2011)

Martorana 2006 Merlot (Dry Creek Valley)

  1. $33
Good blackberry, black cherry, cola and spice flavors in this Merlot. It’s marked by the jagged, sandpapery tannins that often accompany Dry Creek red wines. You can call it rustic, but it’s rustic-chic, an interesting wine with some real complexity.  — S.H.  (5/1/2011)

Softly simple and sweet in cherry and oak flavors, this Merlot is good, but doesn’t leave much to the imagination. Drink it now with burgers or beef tacos.  — S.H.  (12/15/2011)
