Pedroncelli Friends Red 2022
The Land:
Sourced from carefully selected vineyards across Sonoma County, this blend reflects the region’s diverse terroir. Gravelly loam soils and a warm, even growing season in 2022—marked by drought-driven low yields—produced fruit with deep concentration, vibrant aromatics, and balanced acidity.
The Wine:
A blend of Merlot, Sangiovese, and Cabernet Sauvignon, Friends Red is crafted for immediate enjoyment while maintaining depth and character. Aged for 12 months in small American oak barrels (25% new), it gains subtle toasty spice without overshadowing its fruit-forward core. Blackberry, cherry, and warm spice lead the nose, while smooth tannins frame flavors of cherry, plum, and vanilla. Medium-full bodied with a round, fruit-driven finish, it delivers richness and approachability in equal measure.
The People:
Pedroncelli, a family-owned winery since 1927, has spent nearly a century perfecting Sonoma County wines that are balanced, expressive, and made to be shared. Their commitment to sourcing high-quality fruit from neighboring vineyards ensures that Friends Red remains a seamless, drink-now expression of the region.
