Pedroncelli Pinot Noir
Russian River Pinot Noir, made light and food friendly since 1927.
The story behind Pedroncelli
Giovanni and Julia Pedroncelli bought 90 acres west of Geyserville in 1927 and sold grapes to home winemakers through Prohibition before their first legal vintage in 1934. Four generations later the family still runs the place, and the Pinot Noir comes from a partner vineyard in the cooler Russian River Valley, not their warm Dry Creek Valley estate.
That sourcing choice is the whole point. The wine is 100% Pinot Noir, aged 8 to 9 months in French oak, built light and elegant rather than extracted. The 2021 vintage took a Silver Medal at the 2024 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. We have poured this style for decades because it behaves at the table.
Explore the Pedroncelli range
Pedroncelli keeps a tight lineup. The Pinot Noir is the delicate one, while Zinfandel, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and a Red Blend carry the fuller Sonoma weight.

The Pedroncelli Pinot Noir 750mL sits at $19.99, and that is the honest number for a Russian River sourced Pinot aged in French oak. The Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon both run $15.99, the Red Blend is $16.99, the Merlot is $19.99, and the Sauvignon Blanc is $13.99. None of these are trophy prices. They are the prices of a four generation family winery that has never needed to chase a score. Buy Pedroncelli online and you get Sonoma character without the Russian River markup.

Firm Dry Creek structure and a modest price for building a first rack.
Pedroncelli cocktails and pairings
Serve the Pinot Noir slightly chilled, 55 to 60 degrees, straight from the bottle. It has too light a body for heavy cocktails.
