Pedroncelli? Aw, yeah! I used to love them back in '85! They had that logo with the lightning bolts in place of the letter l's and that big hair guitarist. You remember, right? Wine Metal gave them their third album an unprecedented 9.2 flamin' axes!

For my money, the 'Celli brought their a-game with "Mother Clone," a metal opera set in the year 2247. Berry leads and black pepper in the back, and every taste had blackberry and fig flavors. And don't forget the toasted oak work from the bass player. Although, I have to say, his solo album? Pffft. Too close to jazz. I mean, good for him for trying stuff and all, but that ain't metal.

Anyway, if you hear about Pedroncelli coming back through on some Monsters Of Wine tour, let me know, okay? I don't care which case it is, it's still gonna be a great show.

Features

12 - 2013 Zinfandel, Mother Clone, Dry Creek Valley
 
2013 Zinfandel, Mother Clone, Dry Creek Valley
Our Mother Clone is a classic Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel with fragrant aromas of ripe berry and black plum with a touch of black pepper spice. Concentrated blackberry and fig flavors are framed by subtle toasted oak with a dusty-spicy finish. Well integrated flavors with round tannins and bright acidity are a hallmark of our style. Enjoy now or cellar for three to five years.
 
Mother Clone Vineyard Sources
Pedroncelli’s historic Zinfandel vineyards are located on the hillsides surrounding the winery, on the ranch originally purchased by John Pedroncelli Sr. in 1927 and planted to Zinfandel since 1904. Our Zinfandel vines are head-pruned and hand-picked, a second generation vineyard cloned from the original “Mother” vines. The fruit from the remaining handful of 100-year-old vines, although a small part, is included. Along with the grapes from our estate vineyards, it has been a tradition to include two other old vine and heritage vineyards from nearby growers.
 
Winemaking
2013 was another ideal growing season with mild temperatures and opportune heat spikes to ripen the grapes to full maturity resulting in exceptional yields and quality. We harvested the vineyards during the middle two weeks of September. The resulting fruit had great color, flavor, and tannin development. During fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, the cellar crew performed daily pumpovers—extracting color and flavor from the skins. The wine was aged in American oak barrels for 13 months. A touch of Petite Sirah (6%) adds depth of color and structure in our Zinfandel.

Since then, four generations of Pedroncellis have weathered Prohibition, wine booms and busts, and changing tastes. And they’re still a family-owned operation making acclaimed premium wines. Wherever you are now, Sultan of Swat and Silent Cal, this next glass is for you.
