Pedroncelli 2007 Block 007 Estate Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Dry Creek Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
An interesting Cabernet that shows how this venerable winery is taking the variety seriously. Dry and tannic, it shows impressively deep flavors of blackberries and black currants, with the spiciness of Dry Creek Valley reds. Fine now, but should have a nice glidepath of ageability over the next 6–8 years.

Pedroncelli 2008 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $18
This is a very dry, silky Pinot Noir made in a more restrained manner than some of the big, huge ones out there. It doesn’t whack your head, but appeals for its elegance. Shows sophisticated cherry, sassafras and sandalwood flavors, and the price is extremely good for the quality.

This is a great value in a Petite Sirah that shows how well the variety performs in a great vintage in a warmer climate. With 20% Syrah, which seems to add richness and nobility, the wine is bone dry and elegant in mouthfeel, with complex blackberry, black currant, grilled beef, black pepper and cedar flavors. Drink now.

Pedroncelli 2009 Vintage Selection Chardonnay (Dry Creek Valley)
- Best Buy
- $12
One of the best Chardonnays available at this price. Shows welcome restraint in the crisp, clean flavors of pineapples, Meyer lemons, pears and green apples, with just a touch of oak. If you just judge by price, you’ll be amazed how complex and layered it is.

Pedroncelli 2007 Bushnell Vineyard Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $18
Smoky caramelized oak now dominates this wine, but the underlying flavors are very strong, and everything should come together by mid-2010. It’s a dry, tannic and classically structured Dry Creek Zin, filled with briary berries, currants, licorice, cocoa and spices.
