2006 Scherrer Winery Zinfandel Old and Mature Vines Alexander Valley- USA, California, Sonoma County, Alexander Valley (5/8/2009)
Just now starting to come into its own. Fred knows how to make a great OMV Zin, and this one is no exception. Still young, of course, but the palate is smoothing out quite a bit and gaining weight. Spicy, rich fruits, beef jerky, stones, and a nice stone fruit finish. I will look forward to the progress of the other bottles still in the cellar as the years go by. (91 pts.)
We’re down in the RRV this weekend for my 37th B-day. We have an appointment with Fred today. Very much looking forward to it. Will report back as we are also going to Innman, Arnot- Roberts, Siduri/Novy, Holdredge, and Copain.
