About Pedroncelli Winery
“The year was 1927. President Calvin Coolidge captured the imagination of nobody. Babe Ruth hit home run after home run powered by little more than whiskey and sausage. And John Pedroncelli, Sr. bought a vineyard and winery in Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County. Since then, four generations of Pedroncellis have weathered Prohibition, wine booms and busts, and changing tastes. And they’re still a family-owned operation making acclaimed premium wines. Wherever you are now, Sultan of Swat and Silent Cal, this next glass is for you.”

A Rosé By No Other Name

TASTING NOTES:
“Bright aromas of strawberry, orange, rose petals, and spice. Full flavors of candied raspberry and cherry with a hint of white pepper spice. Refreshing, clean and crisp with a delicate berryspice finish. Our Dry Rosé is made to be enjoyed upon release.” (AbV 13.8%, pH 3.65, TA 0.615 g/100mL)

REVIEWS AND COMMENTS FROM OUR PREVIOUS SALE:
from @radiolysis:
"It’s good. It’s fun. It’s refreshing. And goodness, it still feels like summer!

The bones about it – it’s dry and tart. The fruits that i wrote down were pear, barely ripe strawberry, kiwi, pineapple. As it’s been mentioned before, the wine is fruity and has the illusion of sweet, but isn’t. I’d dare say cranberry moves it too much into the acidic category. It has a good zing on the tongue, but has no spritz or bubbles." read more

from @Lighter:
“No brainer for us. First got some way, way back on that other place. This is not the cheap sweet pink stuff that was so “in” a few years back. That stuff was/is right there with Wild Irish Rose. This is real Zen. Sure it’s pink. I say that the color is subversive so that it can be used as an agent of change for folks who think they want soda pop wine.” read more

from @collegebob
“As noted above it drinks closer to a red wine than a white and is a true rose. Have been drinking this since the 1970’s and never been disappointed. As others have said it is hard to go wrong with any Pedroncelli wine. A first class family operation.”

and of course, from @pedroncellifam
“This wine is a great all around wine. It’s light enough to enjoy in the waning days of summer so many of us are enjoying (it’s going to be 88 at the winery today) and buxom enough to drink the drizzle away (grey and drizzly in Omaha today) Nice hints of watermelon and strawberry, bright acidity, lengthy but clean finish. This is the 64th consecutive vintage of this wine. We are pretty fond of the style, and think you will be too!”
