This 2017 Muscat of Alexandria Jackass Hill is the last time Martinelli will make this as a sweet wine. The nose has classic Muscat perfume of musk, potpourri, lychee and elderflower with a core of marmalade-laced tropical fruits. The palate is medium-bodied with honeyed flavors and a long, warm finish.

Deep gold in color, the nose of the 2016 Muscat of Alexandria Jackass Hill explodes with lychee, rosewater, gardenia, candied peach, musk, passion fruit and pineapple aromas. Full-bodied and fully sweet, it has pretty musk-tinged tropical fruits in the mouth, with the unctuous sweetness well countered by juicy acidity, finishing long and flavorful. 99 cases were made.

The 2014 Muscat of Alexandria Jackass Hill is pale gold in color with a nose of grape juice, lychees and rose water with hints of allspice and Turkish delight plus a waft of acacia honey. The palate is very sweet, concentrated and spicy with a wonderfully perfumed nature and fabulous purity, finishing epically long with a refreshing lift. 98 cases produced.

A slightly sweet, very fragrant and flowery 2013 Muscat of Alexandria from the Jackass Hill Vineyard was made. This is a delightful, fruit-driven wine with plenty of tropical fruit and marmalade notes to drink by itself at the end of a meal. It should keep well for 2-4 years.

The evolved dark garnet-colored 2012 Zinfandel Jackass Vineyard came in at only 17.1% natural alcohol. It is extremely full-bodied with notes of lavender, bay leaf, sweet mulberry and black cherry jam, wild strawberries, spice box and charcuterie. The incredibly decadent, luxurious aromatic profile is followed by an equally stunning, multidimensional, full-throttle, massively-endowed wine to drink over the next 10-15+ years.
