Back by popular demand, Pedroncelli returns with another Auto-Buy! 91-93 Point, Bulk Buy Rated, single vineyard, Dry Creek Valley Cabernet for under $15. 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actually started during Prohibition and was one of only 4 wineries remaining in Dry Creek Valley when Prohibition was repealed.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 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 deals on the Pedroncelli Mother Clone Zinfandel and Sonoma Classico then this is another you want to check out.
Today we are offering the 2023 Brother’s Mark Cabernet which comes from the estate East Side Vineyard. The wine spends 12 months in French oak (30% new). This a wonderful, crowd-pleasing Cab. It received a 91-point rating from Wine Enthusiast and we agree, giving it a Taste Rating of 9 (91-93 points).

From the winery:
2023 Pedroncelli Brother’s Mark Cabernet Sauvignon
Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma CountyBROTHER’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 East Side Vineyard and picked just a mile from the winery. Each of the Bordeaux grapes developed exceptional character on the vineyard sites situated on the valley floor and bench. The vines receive the right amount of sun and cooling fog which develops optimal flavors in the grapes.
The successful 2023 harvest brought excellent fruit quality and wines showing bright acidity and ripe fruit. The growing season was characterized by above-average rainfall, cool temperatures, and a long, slow maturation period, leading to a later harvest compared to previous years. The vintage brought a nice concentration of aromas and flavors.
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, in order 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 French oak barrels for twelve months in order to develop smoothness and complexity.
TASTING NOTES: Aromas of cassis, mocha and spicy oak introduce this full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon. Flavors are framed by black plum, toffee, and spice with a touch of dried green herbs. Vanilla notes and minerality harmonize with a rounded finish highlighted by toasted oak and blackberry fruit. Drink upon release or cellar up to ten more years.

And now on to our review:
The 2023 Pedroncelli Brother’s Mark 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, but this is still a pretty young wine so don’t be afraid to give it some time to breathe.
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 rather grippy and juicy on the finish. It was even a bit more savory on day 2. This is a crowd pleaser kind of Cab that also has enough complexity to satisfy the most discerning palate.
Cheers,
Jon
