The source for Pedroncelli Merlot comes from three vineyard blocks off estate vineyard located along Dry Creek Road planted in the early 1990s. East Side Vineyard has natural benches that flank Dry Creek and rise gradually from the valley floor. Characterized by sloped topography and gravelly residual soils, the unique growing conditions combine to bring out the best in our Merlot. Aromas of dark red fruits and a touch of cooking spices. Flavors of cherry and plum are showcased with vanilla toast notes. Medium-bodied with soft tannins which follow through to a long, fruity finish. It is a beautifully balanced and structured wine.

Our story is the immigrant experience coming to life as the American dream. Founded in 1927 by Giovanni & Giulia Pedroncelli we are a four-generation family winery and grape growers. We are here for the long term and sustainability comes naturally to us. Our wines tell the story of longevity, craftmanship and integrity-they tell the story of vintage and vineyard one glass at a time

Pedroncelli Winery was founded by Giovanni & Giulia Pedroncelli in 1927 when they purchased 25 acres of vineyard, a home and a shuttered winery (mid Prohibition). They farmed and sold the grapes until Repeal and now four generations of Pedroncellis call this home. Located in Geyserville, the family now farms 100 acres of grapes (Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon chiefly among 9 varieties), and produces 50,000 cases of wine, all grown, harvested, aged and bottled at the winery nestled in the eastern hills of the Dry Creek Valley. Now women owned, the winery is led by President Julie Pedroncelli St. John and winemaker Montserrat Reece has been making wine for 17 vintages and counting.
