Sonoma Classico

• 2022

    This richly extracted blend jumps from the glass with aromas of berry compote, spiced fig and cocoa powder on the nose. The palate packs a wallop of rich tannin and lively acidity with flavors of spiced cherry preserves, dark chocolate and cuttant that linger across the finish.

    This bottling is a tribute to the field blend style traditionally done on the property, and though the ferments are done separately today, the spirit is definitely captured. It’s easy and approachable, showing cherry, soft dried herbs, and mild oak influence. It’s made with food in mind, and it’s a super value. A proprietary blend of Merlot, Syrah, Sangiovese, Tinta Madeira and Souzao.

    Merlot has long been favored for blending in the Golden State. But it’s not just a part of the blend in Pedroncelli’s Sonoma Classico bottling; it’s the star, and comprises nearly two-thirds of the 2021 vintage, alongside Syrah, Sangiovese and Zinfandel. This combination results in a wine with polished tannins and snappy red currant, cedar and anise flavors.

     

    “This straightforward red is appealing for its snappy red currant, cedar and anise flavors that finish with refined and polished tannins. Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese. Drink now through 2031”.Tim Fish
