Pedroncelli, Dry Creek Valley (Sonoma County, California) Cabernet Sauvignon “Brother’s Mark” 2022 ($24)

This bottling, known as “Three Vineyards” previously, now pays tribute to the second generation brothers that built the legacy that is now moving into the fourth generation. It is a fine value, and it shouts its Dry Creek Valley origins with what Julie Pedroncelli calls a “greenier” signature. That herb note tempers the ripe cool climate fruit nicely. It’s ready for a meaty meal, whether it is chicken or beef. Contains 7% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot.
