2021 Pedroncelli 'Mother Clone' Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley

Winemaker Notes: Mother Clone is a classic ‘Dry Creek’ Zinfandel with spicy aromas of ripe cinnamon and white pepper along with red berries and a touch of vanilla. Red cherry flavors combine 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 are a hallmark of our style.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Enthusiast - "This layered, polished and handsomely oaked wine brims with aromas like vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. These lead to lush berry and dark plum flavors on a texture of fine-grained tannins. Velvety in mouthfeel and delicious to sip."


Wilfred Wong - "COMMENTARY: The 2021 Pedroncelli Mother Clone Zinfandel is powerful and expressive. TASTING NOTES: This wine exhibits aromas and flavors of blackberries and ripe raspberries. Serve it with a mixed grill of BBQ meats. Tasted: October 15, 2023, San Francisco, CA)"


Wine Spectator - "Appealingly old school, this Zin offers briary cherry, dried sage and cracked pepper flavors that zip toward zesty tannins."
