2018 Rosé, Signature Selection
Tasting Notes
A Long Tradition of Rosé. When it comes to appreciating this style of wine, we have it down to an art. We have been producing rosé since 1954 and have more than 60 vintages under our belt. We look for a style that captures the essence of fruit and is crisp and a touch spicy.
Pale pink in color with bright aromas of cherry and rose petals. Flavors feature strawberry and cherry upfront with a hint of white pepper spice. Refreshing, clean, and crisp with a touch of spiciness on the finish. Our Rosé is made to be enjoyed upon release.
The grapes for our Rosé were harvested from the Pedroncelli home ranch. The site’s well-drained rocky soils, hillsides, and excellent microclimate enable zinfandel to develop generous fruit flavors.
Winemaking
The year brought mild temperatures and a longer growing season with optimal results in the grapes. The vineyard blocks chosen for our Rosé were picked on the 5th of September to preserve acidity, obtain lower sugars, and highlight varietal flavors. The result is excellent quality with an intensity of aromas and acidity.
Once destemmed and pressed, the juice is transferred to temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for slow fermentation. The fruitiness of the zinfandel grape lends a rounded and balanced flavor in the wine. Bottled a few months after harvest, the wine captures the freshness of the vintage.

About The Winery
Winery: Pedroncelli Winery & Vineyards
Owners: Pedroncelli Family
Founded: 1927
Location: Sonoma, CA
The year was 1927. President Calvin Coolidge captured the imagination of nobody. Babe Ruth hit home run after home run powered by little more than whiskey and sausage. And John Pedroncelli, Sr. bought a vineyard and winery in Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County. 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.
@wyk3d This is the second time a wine I bought from casemates wouldn’t ship to Illinois when offered on meh. It doesn’t seem to make any sense… like offering wine on meh instead of leaving it on casemates. Unless shipping rules change month to month, there’s some fuckery going on. When a bluetooth speaker shows up on casemates with shipping restrictions, perhaps we’ll know more.
Ok, I just wanted to say fuckery. It’s a good thing I already have too much wine and a case on the way. Now how do we get one of these sites to start offering bourbon?
@wyk3d same here. I went to buy immediately. I was all excited. It was going to be a good day. Nope. No Illinois. Well at least the weather is good…dammit. Overnight freeze. I need my alcohol.
@lljk Duh! Just drink until you’re not visible. Can’t be visibly intoxicated then.
I did have one case of wine just left on my porch with no signature required, even before the days of corona and its contactless delivery. I guess it depends on your delivery person.
@warpedrotors Apparently this got sent to the “junk” box so I just now got your message, but I completely get it… Everyone not in Chicago hates Chicago and everyone in Chicago hates someone else in Chicago enough to shoot them!
@shubydoo I’m sure Meh wouldn’t arbitrarily decide to cut off that many potential customers. Probably something to do with liquor laws and regulations in the particular state. Thank your government for that. And some people think we need more government and all its bureaucrats.
@alwinMUH paper + cardboard. Lately they’ve been shipping on hideous styrofoam boxes - such a waste. Hopefully this will be fully recyclable though (big heavy cardboard box + light cardboard dividers inside)
@alwinMUH I work in the backend of a large shipper (cough FDX cough) and see a lot of different packages. I have dealt with a lot of leaking boxes from walmart and all manner of other retailers, but I have never seen a box from any of the wine shippers that use us leak. I would order wine (if my state allowed it) long before i would order dish soap and have it shipped.
I read your post and thought to myself, “is there even such a thing as a classic, dry White Zin, I thought that stuff was dreamed up by the US wine industry to expand the appeal of wine-drinking to a wider market? Isn’t a dry, tart, pink wine a Rose by any other name?”
So I looked it up, where else, on Wiki, which says it can be dry, and that it was invented inadvertently in 1948 by Sutter Home, which still dominates the White Zin Market. (What luck have you had finding a dry wine labeled White Zin? I don’t think I’ve seen one. Not that I was looking.)
And then a little further along in the rabbit hole I learned that Sutter Home’s “accident” was in the midst of making a Rose in the oeil-de-perdrix style (yes for all you francophones, that is the eye of a partridge). Which is a very old method. And that like a lot of wineries, Sutter Home published a memoir with some pretty pictures It includes a chapter on the White Zin phenomenon.
That was a fun and edifying diversion for me, thanks for inspiring it!
@xander BTW you can hit Edit after you see the result. But only I think for a few minutes before it becomes locked. Even if you make no changes, when you save it again, you will usually get a new image. (It seems if you try a few times it will loop back to the first one you got.)
@mike808 White wines have pH ranging the about 2.6 to 3.7 and reds from about 3.2 to 4.0.
But tartness and pH are only somewhat related - the Titratable Acidity matters here as well, along with any residual sugar.
@Winedavid49 Any idea on how long it takes for the system to allow? I tried a fresh browser but still won’t allow. (I get a clue that it is not updated when it doesn’t show sales tax.)
Ok, ok you guys should be honest about this. Why do you advertise an item and claim it can’t be shipped to certain areas? I get wine shipped here all the time. This sux big time.
/giphy toasty-cumbersome-coleslaw
Last time we got this from casemates it was more expensive and we went through it super fast. Ordering the max. (With my free shipping, it comes out to $7.42/bottle, I can’t get decent wines at the local stores even when they’re open for that little!)
Thanks for updating the states that you can ship too. Couldn’t understand why every other Pedroncelli offer could ship to Illinois but this one couldn’t… Glad I checked back to try and get the offer again! Thanks WineDavid
Call me a sucker for a meh/Casemates crossover, but we’ve had it with stay-at-home and need some serious wine buying to get us through this whole spring-summer whatever it is in Illinois since we’re now on the ‘buy’ list.
/giphy unique-steep-plant
Was excited to get our wine today. Until we opened a bottle. This is almost undrinkable. Leaves a nasty metal after taste in your mouth. This is horrible. We are deciding how to get rid of it. Gift it, or just throw it away. I feel ripped off. Live and learn I guess. Thanks Meh…no more wine for me…
So far, so good! Really digging this winery. Would definitely say serve it chilled. We tried it out of the box and it was a bit much. A lot better after chillin’.
It arrived Thursday. Not sure how that tiny UPS gal drags stuff like that around.
Would Monsieur care to sniff ze bottle cap? It’s a dry wine, not for the faint of heart. For me that’s a good thing; it slows me down and keeps me from snockered. I am thoroughly enjoying it.

Auto buy until no shipping to IL. Thanks. Why could the Ped assorted reds case from casemates ship here but this can’t?
@wyk3d Same, also would have ordered to IL.
Also, who are they calling weirdos?
Same problem here in Jersey… what gives?
@wyk3d Well damn
@wyk3d IA gang checking in. There are dozens of us that aren’t blessed by meh wine this day.

@awilkey @wyk3d @gman1341 @drlawyer update: IL is a go! sorry, winery mistake. have at it!
@Winedavid49 got my hopes up. Still a no go for IL.
@awilkey @drlawyer @gman1341 @Winedavid49 @wyk3d
WD, it still not letting me order.
@awilkey @drlawyer @gman1341 @karenhynes @Winedavid49 success! Ordered for IL.
@awilkey @drlawyer @gman1341 @Winedavid49 @wyk3d
Thank you for checking on this, can you check on Iowa too? Pedroncelli has usually shipped to Iowa in the past.
@awilkey @drlawyer @gman1341 @karenhynes @wyk3d ok, please try again! sorry.
@awilkey @drlawyer @gman1341 @mtb002 @wyk3d Iowa should now be a go.
@Winedavid49 How about Nebraska? Are we a mistake? I mean on the wine, obviously the answer is yes.
@awilkey @drlawyer @gman1341 @karenhynes @Winedavid49 @wyk3d
Getting your volume over here today it would appear WD.
@bhodilee @Winedavid49 Wow, you’re even getting bowtie out!
@awilkey @drlawyer @gman1341 @Winedavid49 @wyk3d
Well fuck it then! In for a case. Guess I can gift some of this and the sparkling rosé on the way.
@klezman @Winedavid49 I have to build a house and drink all my wine, then I’ll buy more.
/giphy giant-immaculate-mask
Hmm, that estimated delivery window seems like an awfully long time to not be drinking.
@lljk Duh! Just drink until you’re not visible. Can’t be visibly intoxicated then.
I did have one case of wine just left on my porch with no signature required, even before the days of corona and its contactless delivery. I guess it depends on your delivery person.
Shooooo wine! Go back to Casemates where you belong, and leave us here to buy crazy weird items instead!
I was thrown off for a second. An awesome price but I did just get this and the friends white.
@jml326 Same here. Disappointing to see I could have saved 15$ (but no white! It’s actually not bad that white)
Awesome QPR here
PANS! GLANDS! CRAYONS! AWESOME!
Wine makes me nearly-instantly shit myself, thanks for the reminder
@Spheyr Is this some new trendy illness like gluten and lactose intolerance?
this stuff is good, but I’ve got far too much rose already. link to the previous casemates if anyone wants to look at lab rat reports:

@carl669 ship some to us Illinois folks
@carl669 @Enigma I have a few bottles left in Chicago. Strap on a mask and bring something to trade.
Apparently everyone in Illinois apparently wants to get wasted… Though I’ve been there… I get it
@IWUJackson It’s not a want, it’s a need. I’ll only live here as long as I have to, then I’m never coming back.
@carl669 @Enigma IL is now a go. sorry! winery mistake in set up.
@warpedrotors Apparently this got sent to the “junk” box so I just now got your message, but I completely get it… Everyone not in Chicago hates Chicago and everyone in Chicago hates someone else in Chicago enough to shoot them!
…has Meh been living in an alternate timeline for the past couple months?
@dannyb I came here just to say this
Not going into the nearest city to buy wine and the local store only has Vella and Mogen David.
Can’t ship to WV, either…boo, hiss. sheesh.
What if your business address is a PO Box?
Alas, never mind. You refuse to ship to almost half the states, including ours.
mine too…
@RedOak To be fair I believe it’s not a “refuse to”, it’s a “legally cannot ship to”.
Can’t wine about this deal.
/giphy pun
Wait… casemates CAN ship this very wine to me, but meh can’t? WHAT the…how in the… OH for the LOVE of… WHY???
@shubydoo I’m sure Meh wouldn’t arbitrarily decide to cut off that many potential customers. Probably something to do with liquor laws and regulations in the particular state. Thank your government for that. And some people think we need more government and all its bureaucrats.
@phendrick @shubydoo
Would not be surprising at all in our state - ruled by a “Witless” Governor.
@shubydoo OH has been added. sorry! miscommunication with winery.
@Winedavid49 sounds good for Ohio, but I’m in West By God Virginia

Ken sez BUY!
https://www.kenswineguide.com/wine_review/Pedroncelli-2018-Rose
Wow, this really is the apocalypse.
What kind of case do the bottles come in? Wood or paper/cardboard?
@alwinMUH Cardboard. Just a shipping box, with protectors for the bottles. Not a decorative case or anything.
A case in wine lingo just means a dozen bottles.
@alwinMUH paper + cardboard. Lately they’ve been shipping on hideous styrofoam boxes - such a waste. Hopefully this will be fully recyclable though (big heavy cardboard box + light cardboard dividers inside)
@alwinMUH I work in the backend of a large shipper (cough FDX cough) and see a lot of different packages.

For those wondering, this Rosè is not sweet. This is not your mother’s White Zinfandel!
/giphy violent-whispering-fig
@MarkDaSpark thank you, I was looking for this info. I’m not a big wine guy, I know my wife likes sweet wines though. I guess I’ll pass on this.
Oh, I am interested in this. I’ve been making a more classic white Zin (dry, tart, eg not fruit punch) but I haven’t seen many to try.
I read your post and thought to myself, “is there even such a thing as a classic, dry White Zin, I thought that stuff was dreamed up by the US wine industry to expand the appeal of wine-drinking to a wider market? Isn’t a dry, tart, pink wine a Rose by any other name?”

Yes, I need an escape during these trying times. Yes, wine is good. But no, I will have to wake up eventually.
Tend to like lighter rosés, but…

@mike808
oh yeah… duh!
A pH of 3.37?
That’s in the Orange juice range of tartness.
@mike808 Just cut it with some bleach or seawater if it’s too tart.
@mike808 @warpedrotors I like my roses more in the “urine” range
@hilwil @mike808 @warpedrotors
but don’t the thorns hurt…
@mike808 White wines have pH ranging the about 2.6 to 3.7 and reds from about 3.2 to 4.0.
But tartness and pH are only somewhat related - the Titratable Acidity matters here as well, along with any residual sugar.
Just wanted to see if mediocrebot is awesome.
/giphy smooth-elusive-cocktail

@mediocrebot everything is cool when you’re a part of the team…
So I have a case of Pedroncelli reds in shipment to MI (delivery expected tomorrow) from Casemates, but this one can’t ship here? Boooo.
@a5meiser Michigan has now been added. Sorry! miscommunication with winery.
@Winedavid49 Thanks! Now I just have to find someone willing to split this with me.

This wine earlier this year. Probably from Casemates. Can you check the available shipping?
@Polarbear22 CT should now be a go. Sorry! winery set up issue.
@Winedavid49 thank you.
@Winedavid49 Any idea on how long it takes for the system to allow? I tried a fresh browser but still won’t allow. (I get a clue that it is not updated when it doesn’t show sales tax.)

/giphy Shaggy-Thick-Trouble
Always picked last on the kickball team as a kid. Face made for radio. And now no shipping to IL.
IRK arrived yesterday, though. All is forgiven.
@Kenbo Illinois is actually a go. winery mistake. should be fixed in a minute! sorry!
@winedavid how about CT? Shipping was Ok in February. Though license may not correspond to calendar year.
Is “Rosé” just another way of saying, "I like white zinfandel, but I’m too embarrassed to call it that… now give me a bendy straw so I can drink this.
@wickhameh this is a dry rose’, it really doesn’t compare to white (brrrrr) zinfandel

No shipping to Iowa either? That’s never been a problem
@iamthepresident Iowa now active. sorry! winery set up issue.
@Winedavid49 Thank you! I got a case
Anyone have an idea of residual sugar? Is it a dry rose?
@saggyballs this is dry. Don’t recall the residual sugar figure.
Ok, ok you guys should be honest about this. Why do you advertise an item and claim it can’t be shipped to certain areas? I get wine shipped here all the time. This sux big time.
@Beckee depends on the winery license where it can ship.
@Beckee Some states were added later. Maybe yours?
Why not?
/giphy artsy-atrocious-science
This is a great dry rose. I usually go through at least a case a year. It is our favorite, especially with pork dishes.
That’s VERY weird that Ohio’s a no-go. It was less than two weeks ago that Casemates was offering Pedroncelli … and Ohio WAS on the list.
https://casemates.com/forum/topics/pedroncelli-assorted-reds-1
@Foobarski I ordered that mixed case, but was skipping this one. I assumed it had to go to Ohio. Doesn’t make sense.
@KNmeh7 I’m in the opposite boat … I passed on the reds, but would buy this if I could.
@Foobarski @KNmeh7 Ohio now live. sorry! winery set up issue.

@cosmicWy Decently dry.
had some with dinner last night. it’s non-sweet rose and that’s a win for $7.40 a bottle!
Definitely dry! That’s a good thing. Serve chilled or not?
@radi0j0hn gotta sat chilled is the way to go!
@CrazyJeff @radi0j0hn I agree.

@bizaro same. I can’t get past the aftertaste.
So far, so good! Really digging this winery. Would definitely say serve it chilled. We tried it out of the box and it was a bit much. A lot better after chillin’.
