INSIDER DEAL! 92-Point Pedroncelli Brother’s Mark Cabernet Sauvignon

Back by popular demand, Pedroncelli returns with another Auto-Buy! 92-Point Dry Creek Valley Cabernet for well under $20. Don’t miss the Pedroncelli Brother’s Mark Cabernet Sauvignon.

This is value defined!

Pedroncelli, which as we like to say is Italian for “Autobuy”, is one of the original Dry Creek Valley wineries. Amazingly, it was actually started during Prohibition and was one of only 4 wineries remaining in Dry Creek Valley when Prohibition was repealed. Today they are still family owned and on to the fourth generation.

We often refer to Pedroncelli deals as “AutoBuys” because they are just so reliably good. This is based both on our own assessment of the wines and the incredible response we get from you whenever we offer them. In fact, we’re bringing this very wine back earlier than normal because so many of you who purchased it last time have been asking for more! In other words, this is about as can’t miss as our Insider Deals get.

The winery is currently one of the highest sellers of all-time in our Insider Deals with multiple sell-outs. If you enjoyed our recent deal on the Pedroncelli Mother Clone Zinfandel then this is another you want to check out.

Today we are offering the 2022 Brother’s Mark Cabernet (previously labeled as “Three Vineyards”) which spends 14 months in French oak barrels, 30% of which were new. The wine received 92 points from both Beverage Tasting Institute and Wine Review Online and we agree giving it a Taste Rating of 9 (91-93 points).

This wine is a screaming deal for Dry Creek Valley Cabernet even at the very reasonable SRP, but today you can get it for much less than that…

For the next day you can get 4 bottles of the 2022 Pedroncelli Brother’s Mark Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon for just $XX.95 ($XX.XX/bottle)!

From the winery:

BROTHER’S MARK: John and Jim Pedroncelli first planted Cabernet Sauvignon in 1965 making their mark in Dry Creek Valley. This was at the beginning of their six-decade business partnership which included many other milestones along the way. This wine blends brethren Bordeaux varieties and builds layers of striking flavors and character. The brothers have left an indelible mark on our family, our valley and the wine community.

GRAPE & WINEMAKING NOTES: Estate fruit was harvested from the northern end of Dry Creek Valley and picked just a mile from the winery. Each of the Bordeaux varieties developed exceptional character on the vineyard sites located along the valley bench. The vines receive the right amount of sun and cooling fog which develops optimal flavors in the grapes.

The beginning of the growing season was framed by low amounts of rain and the continued season brought good conditions through to harvest. High temperatures at the onset of harvest concentrated flavors because of lowered yields. The grapes for this blend were harvested in mid-September, preserving varietal flavors, aromatics, and natural acidity.

Once at the crush pad, the grapes are de-stemmed and cold-soaked for 48 hours. Inoculated with the Bordeaux yeast strain, fermentation followed in stainless steel tanks. During this time, to get the best color and flavor, the juice is circulated over the cap daily and gently macerated to extract the color and flavors from the skins. Once dry the new wine is pressed and stored until barreled in the winter. The separate lots were aged in French oak barrels for fourteen months to develop smoothness and complexity.

TASTING NOTES: 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.

And now on to our review:

The 2022 Pedroncelli Brother’s Mark Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon opens with pleasing aromas of ripe dark berry fruit plus a little cedar, licorice and baking spice. It’s a great, classic start.

The wine tastes similar in the mouth which is a very good thing, featuring plenty of ripe dark fruit combined with a nice tannic structure and some of those other touches from the nose. It also has a soft, smooth mouthfeel making this quite easy to drink.

It ends dry, long and a bit grippy and was similar on day 2. This is a crowd pleaser kind of Cab that also enough complexity to satisfy the most discerning palate.

Cheers,
Jon

Here’s what people are saying about our Insider Deals:

“I’ve bought a ridiculous amount of wine from your deals in the last year…I just want to say that I really appreciate what you guys have done with RWS. I discovered your site looking up Costco wine reviews and have been hooked on your insider deals ever since. I’ve been referring every friend I know.”

“I have been buying your Insider Deals for about 3 years now and we have enjoyed every one of them. They are wines that we never would have found on our own… ”

“The only thing I have ever been disappointed in with an Insider Deal is that I didn’t purchase more.”

“Received my shipment today and just cracked open my first tasting. It blew me away…I guess I have another top pick to my list. Can’t wait for my next glass…”

“I recently took advantage of your offer. So glad I did, and now sorry I did not buy more (like all those quotes on your website!)”

“the wine is, in a single word, superb! as have been all other wines offered and purchased since I first learnt about you…”

“love them all so far…Glad we ran across you. Too bad we can not order them all.”

“Also your prices are pretty amazing.”

“Hey Jon! You do great work. I’ve bought a bunch of the Insider Deals and probably 80% of the wine I drink comes from them. Great values!”

“Jon, this is a wonderful wine all around. You have become our go-to person for wonderful wines and wine values. Please keep up the excellent job that you’re doing! Regards, a very satisfied customer.”

“Just love your site and the great deals on unique small production vino. You do an outstanding job!”

“Wow!! Just got my shipment. It is absolutely tremendous.”

“I love this wine I bought from you!!!! Thanks for doing what do do!!!”

“This an absolutely amazing wine, Jon…You’ve outdone yourself!”

“Thanks Jon. We already drank all 6 of the first order so we were ecstatic to see you offering it again. My wife and I both love it.”

“You are a man after my own heart. I have always looked for the best and least expensive wine and you just made it easier. Cheers!”

“Hi Jon, well, I did something people have warned about – bought 6 bottles and should have bought 12!”

“Have had nothing but great bottles since I started ordering your recommendations. Thanks so much!”

“We’ve gotten in on three of the deals and have been VERY happy with the value. I originally was going to do a wine club thing but the insider deal appeals to me much more.”

“The shipping on the Insider Deals is another great part of the deal. We recently paid $27 to a winery in California to ship 6 bottles (same packaging as the insider deals)….yikes!”

“Just got my 6 bottles and having my first glass. WHY, WHY didn’t I buy a case??!!”

“Jon – you have to stop offering all of these amazing deals. My self discipline is fading fast!!”

“Seriously amazing deal!!! I love a bold red, and Reverse Wine Snob delivered!!! Perfect for a rainy night!!”

“AMAZING!! Damn, I should have bought a CASE!!”

“WOW. Just… wow. Absolutely delicious. If I knew it was going to be this good, I would have bought a case… or two. This was dead-center in the sweet spot of what I like. Thank you!!”

“I have loved all my RWS deals, can’t wait to get this one.”

“I know that you don’t need to have ‘customers’ email you every time they like a wine that you have suggested/rated, and I have enjoyed many of your recommendations. But this Tannat was spectacular! Wow! That was amazing!”

“I finally opened a bottle of this and it did not disappoint. Delicious!!!”

“Thanks for a great service! We’ve been loving your emails and wine deals!”

“This insider deal is a great wine!!! So glad I got it!!”

“I love your approach to wine and all the great wine finds out there. It’s tempting to order almost every time you send out a deal. Keep up the great work, truly appreciated. ”
