Ulises Valvez was one of the great American success stories in the wine world. An immigrant to this country, he built his vineyard and winery into a top notch winery. Sadly, he passed away a couple of years ago at far too young of an age. His winery carries on. This is a Zinfandel blend that also has 17% Peite Sirah and 5% Grenache. The vineyard was originally planted in 1888 and hand farmed by Ulises Valdez since 1988. There are some very old vines. Purple in color. The nose has black cherries, some raspberries, a bit of spice and bramble. Nice texture. Juicy acidity. There is s

A lovely, old school Zinfandel. Whether one thinks this is young or ready or old is a matter of preference. For my tastes, this is drinking youthfully but ready. Ruby in color, clear and bright. The nose has bramble, raspberries, slight black cherries and spice. Light but present tannins. On the palate, bramble and black cherries with spice and slight char. Drinks well. Not over the top. Very nice on its own but better with food. A great wine with pizza. Drink over the next seven to ten years.

Fred Scherrer makes classic old school Zinfandel. Deep ruby in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with bramble, cherries, slight black cherries and char. medium to full bodied. On the palate, cherries with a slight cough drop note. Anise on the finish. Overall a very enjoyable, non-flamboyant Zin. It is nice on its own but probably better with food. A great choice for Burgers off the grill. Drink over the next few years.

Love these wines. They deserve more attention. A middle of the road Zinfandel in style. Garnet in color, clear and bright. The nose has black cherries, char, slight bramble and spice. Medium to full bodied. Light tannins. On the palate, this is delicious. Cherries, some black cherries with underlying char. Great balance. Long finish. This is drinking great now and should continue to for seven to ten more years. It drinks well on its own and would work great with a burger and roasted corn.
