An Aptly Named Seductress ....

This is a wine that is indeed hard to stay away from... the 2005 vintage is showing especially well right now and very successfully demonstrates why the Russian River Valley produces some of the best pinot noir in the world. 
Tannins are beautifully integrated with rich cherry fruit, a hint of sweetness balanced with savory forest floor ... all supported by lithe minerality... this wine always disappears quickly from the glass. 
The Lolita Ranch is a consistent favorite of the Martinelli pinot noirs...
