Winemaker Notes
Lively aromas of plum, boysenberry and Bing cherry followed by nutmeg and baking spice. An intriguing blend of both power and restraint, the palate expresses profound notes of cranberry and pomegranate reinforced by a savory mouthfeel from refined tannins and structure.

Wine Spectator
Explosively fruity and rich tasting, with concentrated red currant, plum and raspberry flavors, backed by crunchy acidity. Mineral and savory accents linger on the finish, with focused freshness.

Wine Enthusiast
Earth, black tea, black cherry and a tightness of refined tannin spark on the palate of this wine, from an estate-grown site planted to heirloom clones. Nuanced layers of rich, dense, powerful intensity build to a wild finish of black pepper and cardamom.

James Suckling
Lots of smoky oak and dried berries with some dark chocolate. It’s full and chewy with intensity and power. A little tight now.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Pinot Noir Martaella, medium ruby-purple in color, opens with cranberries and blackberries, orange peel, dried flowers and spices. The palate is medium-bodied, soft and juicy with spicy fruits and a perfumed finish.

With such similar family backgrounds, it's no wonder Joe Anderson and Mary Dewane would eventually find each other and marry. Together, they began a journey that led them to establish a winery that would make them, and their fathers, proud -- proud enough that the Benovia name pays homage to Ben and Novian.
