    INSIDER DEAL! Pedroncelli Mother Clone Zinfandel – Hit The Mother Lode

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: November 28, 2022 Last Updated: November 30, 2022

    THIS LIMITED TIME OFFER IS NOW EXPIRED! Sign up below to make sure you get the next one. Learn more about our winery direct INSIDER DEALS here.

    One of our most popular Insider Deals of all-time is back in time for Christmas! From one of the original Dry Creek Valley wineries, it's the fabulous Pedroncelli Mother Clone Zinfandel.

    INSIDER DEAL! Pedroncelli Mother Clone Zinfandel – Hit The Mother Lode

    We've got an extra special treat for you today with one of our very favorite wines from one of our very favorite wineries, Pedroncelli! If you've been waiting to take advantage of one our Insider Deals, you can't go wrong with this one, perhaps our most requested "repeat" deal from previous buyers.

    If you've bought any of our previous Pedroncelli deals then you know just how special these wines are and can skip right on down to the buy button. (Can you say "Autobuy"?) For those unfamiliar with Pedroncelli, let us give you a little history...

    We had a chance to visit the winery a few years ago and spend some time with Jim Pedroncelli, who along with his brother John, bought the winery from their father in 1963.

    Jim Pedroncelli of Pedroncelli Winery

    John Sr started the winery in 1927 (during Prohibition!) and managed to stay in business by selling grapes to home winemakers. By the time the 21st amendment was passed (repealing Prohibition) the winery was one of just four remaining in Dry Creek Valley. Now 90 years later they are on to the fourth generation!

    One of the original Dry Creek Valley wineries.

    Over the years we've had a chance to taste many wines from Pedroncelli and have always been impressed, but one of our very favorites is the Mother Clone Zinfandel. We even snapped this picture of a previous vintage in barrel when we visited.

    The Pedroncelli Mother Clone Zinfandel has an extremely reasonable SRP of just $24 (not to mention a long list of gold medals and 90+ scores) but for the next day we're slashing that price substantially...

    Through today's 1 Day Insider Deal you can get 4 bottles of the 2019 Pedroncelli Mother Clone Zinfandel for just $64.99, or $16.25 a bottle, plus only $6.99 for shipping!

    That's a total savings of 38%. Buy multiples (which we highly advise you do) and you save even more since you'll never pay more than $6.99 shipping, no matter how many 4-packs you buy. Read on for our full review.

    This 4-pack deal is available to ship to the following states: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, VA, VT, WA, WV, WI and WY. (These states are dependent on the individual licenses of the offering winery and are not representative of all our deals. Every deal can have different, sometimes more, sometimes less, states available.)

    This limited time, winery direct offer ends Wednesday 11/30/2022 at noon (PT) unless it sells out sooner.

    Clicking on the buy button above will take you to the site winedealmaker.com to checkout. If you don't see the embedded buy box click here to order.

    The Pedroncelli Mother Clone Zinfandel is 86% Zinfandel and 14% Petite Sirah from Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California. The grapes come from a ranch planted to Zinfandel since 1904 and purchased by John Pedroncelli Sr in 1927. Most of the vineyard was re-planted in the 80s using vines cloned from the originals (hence the name) but the wine also includes fruit from the remaining 110+ year-old "Mother" vines as well. It spends 12 months in American oak, 30% new.

    2019 Pedroncelli Mother Clone Zinfandel

    From the winery:

    Our Mother Clone is a classic ‘Dry Creek’ Zinfandel with aromas of ripe red berries with a touch of cinnamon and white pepper. Jammy berry and cherry flavors combine with vanilla, licorice and baking spice. The dynamic berry-spice combination brings together round tannins and a zesty finish which are a hallmark of our style. Enjoy now or cellar for three to five years.

    Produced and Bottled by Pedroncelli Winery
    15.5% Alcohol

    2019 Pedroncelli Mother Clone Zinfandel

    The 2019 Pedroncelli Mother Clone Zinfandel opens with a beautiful mix of aromas that sucks you right into the glass. Blackberry, plum, baking spice, licorice and touches of vanilla all combine seamlessly.

    Taking a sip reveals a smooth, lovely, medium to full-bodied wine filled with juicy dark berry fruit, more wonderfully integrated spice and a little cola. It's flavorful but not over the top and quite well-balanced. Black pepper and a touch of smoke lead into the dry, very long finish of this fantastic wine.

    And while it's drinking amazingly well now (and maybe even slightly better on day 2), we know from experience that the wines from Pedroncelli get even better with age so don't be afraid to stock up.

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

    "I opened up our first bottle last weekend and was blown away. "

    "Wow!! Just got my shipment. It is absolutely tremendous. "

    "Hi Jon, Best thing I ever did is buy wine thru you...not been disappointed with any of them! Thank you SO MUCH!"

    "Would you happen to be offering this one again anytime soon? I regret not buying more. This was exceptional!"

    "I am seriously considering having the Insider Deals as my primary go-to. Why did I not do this sooner? Thank you"

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

    "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??!!"

    "I really missed the boat by only getting four bottles of this offer last month. Should have bought least at a case."

    "My wife and I have really enjoyed getting to know new wines (and better than we used to buy!)​ Thanks for what you do and providing this service!​"

    "Jon - you have to stop offering all of these amazing deals. My self discipline is fading fast!!"

    "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 outstanding. I am so glad I bought a case."

    " I only drink Reverse Wine Snob wine, it actually doesn't make sense to buy from a store. You don't get anything interesting, unique, and full of value otherwise."

    "Jon, I should have bought more! Delicious!!"

    "I am a Certified Specialist of Wine. I love your deals. You pick great wines!! Kudos to you for getting us great deals!"

    "Wish I would have ordered more!! It was great. Looking back, I wish I didn’t open it at our annual pool party. It’s gone. **Sob**"

    "thanks for the deal...this wine is spectacular for $12.50/bottle. I am used to buying big, bold, young cabs or old vine zins and paying considerably more multiples of this price."

    "Hi Jon, just had to let you know that I love this wine!!!! Thanks for doing what you do."

    "I have purchased many times over the last several months and loved the wines!"

    "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!!"

    "My Insider Deal arrived just in time for my celebration tonight and it’s absolutely delicious! Cheers!"

    "Wish I had doubled my order!"

    "I've gotten quite a few of these and loved them all -- keep them coming!"

    "Wow - this wine is amazing!!! Glad I have two more bottles of it!!"

    "Bought a case wish I had purchased 2-3 cases. Fantastic buy for the price."

    "This Insider Deal was the best ever. This wine is amazing!!! Strongly recommend."
