Pale straw without a hint of brick. Carmelized pear and vanilla on the nose, no alcohol despite a whopping 14.5 ABV. Delicious vanilla apple and pear with a bit of butterscotch on the palate. Holding quite well despite 6 or 7 years in the bottle. Drink now or hold a few more years. — 4 months ago

14.5% ABV Wow very good place right now. Look at the end of that cork, dark thick layer of crystals. Very enjoyable. Dark red color, plum. — 3 years ago

This is so delicious! Tasted it at the winery last summer and got three bottles. This is the first one we opened and the second bottle is in fridge already. Reminds me of Puligny-Montrachet. Balanced, still fresh tasting. Really, really nice. — 9 years ago

So aromatic. Blueberries, lemons, white pepper, grilled steak. Just a baby. Though "light" it has Structure and Acidity to last for years to come. — 10 years ago

Last bottle — opened for an old friend and like the PN alongside, this was a stunner, nearly flawless. Intact cork, bunch of sediment, and after only half hour in the decanter it was game time. Had PN and this alongside gorgeous ribeye — 9 months ago

Delicious fruity zin that’s holding up beautifully. A bit of oxidation although no pronounced off aroma or palette. Remarkable how this rich ripe wine has consistently delivered fruit and supple tannins after 10+ years. Tribute to Mr. Scherrer. — 3 years ago

last bottle and it was the best — ever!

Significantly better than my first bottle, which seemed disjointed and too acidic. This was really nice as a food companion and had me thinking of parallels to a good, cleanly made Sangiovese. Very enjoyable and well priced. — 9 years ago
