About Pedroncelli Winery & Vineyards: “For nearly a century, the Pedroncelli family has been crafting exceptional wines in Sonoma County’s Dry Creek Valley. It all began in 1927 when John Pedroncelli, Sr. purchased a vineyard and a small winery west of Geyserville; two elements have remained unchanged since then - the exceptional place the Pedroncelli family farms their vineyards and their dedication to creating fine wines.”

On Your Brother’s Mark

TASTING NOTES:
Zinfandel - “Our Mother Clone is a classic ‘Dry Creek’ Zinfandel with spicy aromas of cinnamon and white pepper along with red berries and a touch of vanilla. Black cherry flavors blend with vanilla, licorice, and warm baking spices. The berry-spice combination, so typical of Dry Creek Zin, includes a touch of pepper on the rounded finish which is a hallmark of our style. Enjoy now or
cellar for three to five years.” (AbV 15.5%, pH 3.90, TA 0.6 g/100mL)

Brother’s Mark - “Aromas of cassis, spicy oak, and mocha introduce this medium-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon. Flavors are framed by black cherry and plum, toasty soft tannins with a hint of dried cooking herbs. Great structure combined with a rounded and toasted oak finish with lingering blackberry notes. Drink upon release or cellar up to five more years.” (AbV 14.5%, pH 3.64, TA 0.55 g/100mL)
