Pedroncelli Winery 2022 Merlot: A Rich Blend from Dry Creek Valley

Indulge in the sophisticated elegance of Pedroncelli Winery’s 2022 Merlot, crafted from sustainably farmed grapes in Sonoma County’s renowned Dry Creek Valley. This award-winning wine earned a stellar 91-point rating from James Suckling for its lush fruit-forward profile and expert balance. With aromas of dark cherries, baked plums, and hints of grilled herbs and cloves, this medium-bodied gem captivates the senses while its soft tannins and peppery finish leave a lasting impression.

At its core lies Pedroncelli’s commitment to terroir-driven winemaking. The grapes are sourced from three estate vineyard blocks planted in the early 1990s along Dry Creek Road. The East Side Vineyard’s sloped terrain and gravelly soils create ideal conditions for Merlot to thrive, delivering concentrated flavors of cherry and plum complemented by vanilla toast nuances. This wine’s vibrant acidity and long fruity finish make it a standout choice for both casual sipping and cellar-worthy collections.

Perfectly paired with hearty dishes like braised meats or mushroom risotto, this 14.7% alcohol Merlot is certified sustainably grown—offering eco-conscious drinkers a premium experience rooted in tradition and innovation. Elevate your wine collection with this exceptional expression of California’s iconic wine country.
