Pedroncelli 'Mother Clone' Zinfandel

Generous and expressive without tipping into excess, this opens with brambly blackberry, ripe raspberry, and black cherry, layered with baking spice, cracked pepper, and a hint of dried herbs. The palate is medium to full-bodied and plush, with juicy fruit balanced by fresh acidity and well-integrated tannins that keep the wine lively rather than heavy. Subtle notes of cocoa, anise, and warm earth emerge through the mid-palate, carrying into a smooth, lingering finish. A classic Dry Creek Zinfandel that honors old-vine character while maintaining poise and drinkability.
