This is Zinfandel with a capital Z - bold, rich, and strutting straight out of Dry Creek Valley like it owns the place. Bursting with black plum, blackberry compote, and a warm hit of cinnamon and black pepper, this wine is plush and powerful but totally balanced. A little smoky oak, a swirl of dark chocolate, and a whisper of vanilla round it all out. Smooth, spicy, and unmistakably Pedroncelli.

Picture this: it’s 1927, Prohibition’s in full swing, and John Pedroncelli Sr. decides to buy a little vineyard in Sonoma’s Dry Creek Valley that just so happens to be planted to Zinfandel since 1904. Bold move? Absolutely. And it paid off. Nearly 100 years and four generations later, the Pedroncelli family is still crushing it (literally), crafting wines with serious soul, history, and that signature Sonoma swagger. They’ve weathered wars, fires, and fads, all while staying true to their roots - head-pruned vines, hand-harvested fruit, and good wine made by good people who give a damn about the land. These days, the next-gen Pedroncellis are running the show, with a powerhouse woman-led team keeping things fresh while honouring tradition. Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword here - it’s baked into everything, from dry-farming old vines to planting cover crops and composting like pros. Their vineyards are a living history book, but the wines? Pure poetry. Think bold, juicy, spiced-up reds with just enough structure to make you sit up straight. This is the kind of family-run magic that makes you feel like you’re part of the legacy with every sip.
