Wine Spectator
A stunning dramatic Martha's and one of the best wines of the vintage, intense yet elegant and supple, with rounder, smoother tannins than most 1979's. It has a long, gorgeous aftertaste that echoes the mint, fruit and floral wine that is still young, extremely intense and concentrated, tightly wrapped in firm tannins that are just beginning to mellow, allowing the full fragrance and opulence of this dramatic wine to develop. The deep, rich cherry flavors are beautifully focused, with great strength and persistence. While it's delicious to drink now, it may still be a few years from its peak. Drink Now-2005. 866 cases produced.Additional Information

CaliforniaSince the famous Judgement of Paris in 1976 California wines have unquestionably ranked among the best in the world. From the Anderson Valley in the North through Temecula Valley in the South, California vineyards grow dozens of wine grape varietals that produce wines of many different styles. The California wine industry has steadily gained ground since the 1960s (the industry took a major hit following Prohibition), but its roots date back over 200 years.
