"The 2012 Chardonnay Three Sisters displays loads of honeysuckle, tremendous opulence (which is a hallmark), and plenty of orange mandarin and tropical fruit in a full-bodied but discreetly oaked style. This is a big, rich, delicious Chardonnay, but limited in availability (179 cases). Drink it over the next 5-7 years. - Robert Parker 95
One of the great families of Northern California, and of course, one of the highest quality producers, the Martinellis – and rather remarkably so – only estate-bottle 15% of their production from over 300 acres of beautifully situated vineyards in the Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast. No doubt Helen Turley, who worked at Martinelli and mentored its winemaking team, left a profound influence on the quality of the Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs, Syrahs and Zinfandels, a fact that can’t be overstated. The Chardonnays all go through full malolactic fermentation and tend to see about 50% new oak"
