NOTES: The Lolita Ranch is located on Martinelli Road in Forestville. The property
was part of the original Martinelli Homestead Ranch, belonging to Giuseppe
and Luisa Martinelli who purchased the steep, forested land in the late
1800s. Later, their eldest son Fred sold the parcel to his neighbor, Lolita
Young’s mother. Eventually Bob and Lolita Young inherited it and ran a
herd of cattle on the land for many years. Lee Martinelli Jr. and his wife
Pamela acquired the property in 1999 from Bob Young after Lolita’s
passing, returning it back to the Martinelli estate and to the family’s
continuing century-long legacy of viticulture. Lee Jr. decided to name the
ranch after Lolita and planted the steep hillside in 2001 with four different
grape varietals: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah, and Zinfandel.
TASTING NOTES: A very expressive nose with flavors of red raspberries, strawberries, and fresh oak chard. Energetic entry with a flavor of fresh picked strawberries,
and ripe cherry. Present acid in the finish complements the hints of barrel
spice and raspberry.
