The 2008 Syrah Vellutini Ranch comes across as warm and ripe. The aromas and flavors are already forward, suggesting the wine is best enjoyed sooner rather than later. Hints of spices and chocolate develop as it sits, but otherwise the Vellutini Ranch offers limited development in the glass. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018. Martinelli is one of the original pioneering families in Sonoma. I tasted a wide range of wines during a recent visit. The 2008 Syrahs, from a challenging vintage, are a bit up and down, but the rest of the wines are all outstanding. As always, these are fairly bold, extroverted wines, but their overall balance is typically superb.Tel. (707) 525-0570
