Helfer Vineyard Chardonnay 2018

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. — a month 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 — 6 months ago

Spoken from first hand experience, Scherrer’s are one of the few good Zinfandel bets for extended aging into very special wine. Good young too.

Scherrer Vineyard Shale Terrace Zinfandel

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
