1998 Scherrer Estate

[winoweenie]

Freds' dad Ed decided to plant a little plot of Cabernet in 1990 for their own pleasure. This benchland Alexander cab is a real mouth-full. Deep ruby. A restrained nose of red fruits, cassis, violets, and a smidgen of vanilla combine to make this first bottling something special. Bottled unfiltered and unfined, this is remarkably supple now but has the backbone to age another 20 years gracefully. Freds' usual sure hand and winemaking skills show thru in this difficult vintage. 92/90.
