NOTES: The Bondi Home Ranch sits at the southernmost tip of the Russian
River Valley in the Green Valley AVA in Sebastopol. Lee Martinelli
Sr. inherited this ranch from his uncle when it was still an apple
orchard and has since converted the 20 acres to Pinot Noir grapes. The
vineyard is planted with eastern exposure, which promotes even
ripening with all day sun. The cool breeze from the sea rises in the late
afternoon, skimming along the distant bank of fog, relieving the vines
from the afternoon heat, and enhancing slower ripening. The clones are
115, 777, 667, 828, 943 and Calera. Bondi Home Ranch has the longest
growing season of all our vineyards; it is the first to bloom and the last.
TASTING NOTES: The nose is greeted with earthy undertones that complement the
fragrant notes of black cherry and ripe black plum. It begins with a
robust, full-bodied entry, giving way to a burst of fresh cherry on the
midpalate. Firm tannins carry the wine to a lingering finish, where hints
of warming spices and black tea leave a lasting impression.
