| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.2 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 31 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by depdoc on 4/11/2023 & rated 92 points: Lovely aroma. Dark fruit, smooth tannins. Easily has a few more years. (702 views) | | | Tasted by Cabbies Dad on 12/30/2022: Drank with Bobby and Richard. Great with Filet (720 views) | | | Tasted by Grinch on 5/21/2022 & rated 88 points: Mature and probably 1-2 years past peak with soft mouth feel: boysenberry and currant. Drank next to Foley Charbono (bigger) with air dried steaks on the grill. Good match for the prime filet. (1038 views) | | | Tasted by apg23 on 2/20/2022 & rated 87 points: Possibly past it’s prime. Very restrained. Lacking structure. Not what I was expecting. (1166 views) | | | Tasted by WI WineLover on 2/5/2022 flawed bottle: Passed its time. Cork was brittle and difficult to extract (1198 views) | | | Tasted by Quiet Lion on 2/1/2022 & rated 93 points: Decanted briefly. Full and mature on the palate with red currants, supple tannins, earth, and eucalyptus. Delicious now. (1106 views) | | | Tasted by Adamsmt25 on 12/18/2020 & rated 93 points: Very well integrated and balanced. Soft tannins. Notes of clay and mahogany. Balanced plum fruit, intriguing nose. (1692 views) | | | Tasted by TexasBob on 11/14/2020 & rated 89 points: Dark purple with crimson edges. Soft nose of milk chocolate and red berries. Silky smooth with the aforesaid chocolate and red berry notes. (1350 views) | | | Tasted by cincybt on 9/8/2020 & rated 93 points: Seeing reviews that noted a long decant required. We cellared well and decanted an hour. It was great and developed nicely, so there may be bottle variance at play. But a delicious cab that still nice fruit integration mid-palate and a long finish. (1480 views) | | | Tasted by gteran76 on 8/11/2020: This bottles was a bit oxidized but still good, it got a notch better towards the last sip. (1458 views) | | | Tasted by Axelpeter on 6/20/2020 & rated 93 points: Tante m FriAnnet) Napa at its best! Deshalb liebe ich sie: schöne Cassis-Nase, funkelndes dichtes Rot. Schöne klare Frucht, kräftig und stoffig, Zimt und Vanille, seidige Textur, fruchtbetonter unkomplizierter Abgang...am Beginn seiner Hochphase mind 2025 (1432 views) | | | Tasted by gteran76 on 2/28/2020 & rated 92 points: Decanted for 15 min and placed back into the bottle to be consumed at a restaurant 2-3 hours later. The body is medium plus, good fruit and fabulous minerality. This can be confused with an old world wine by the nose and initial barnyard bouquet.
Very well made! (1150 views) | | | Tasted by Cuellar's Cellar on 12/2/2019 & rated 92 points: This wine definitely needs time to breathe...more than any other wine this year. My recommendation is to open this the day before, then re cork it. Day two was a great wine. (1266 views) | | | Tasted by Cuellar's Cellar on 5/22/2019 & rated 91 points: plum aromas. Cherry, and tobacco on the pallet. Cheers (1591 views) | | | Tasted by winecadence on 5/19/2019 & rated 90 points: This never disappoints. Deep red color. Black fruit. Smooth tannins. Not overly complex, but also not dull or boring. Terrific finish. Decanted for approximately 2 hours. Paired perfectly with grilled ribeye. (1342 views) | | | Tasted by Cuellar's Cellar on 4/22/2019 & rated 93 points: This vintage is fantastic. Ready to drink, and very silky. Great fruit, and super approachable. Cheers (1439 views) | | | Tasted by Quiet Lion on 12/5/2018 & rated 94 points: Pop and pour. This is a nice value for Napa Cabernet. Big, deep fruit, chewy tannins. Room for improvement with a little more bottle time. (1589 views) | | | Tasted by Mark H. LeQuire on 4/29/2018 & rated 94 points: Hard to discern where this one is in its drinking window. Have an idea that it is before peak. Either way, paired perfectly tonight with grilled hamburger. Ready to drink. Suspect there is plenty of life left in the bottle. (2017 views) | | | Tasted by nzinkgraf on 5/19/2017: Dense but crunchy aromas. Has a lot more concentration to aroma vs the Mtn Estate 2012. Black fruit and a little savory/meaty aromas. Spice to the palate, more density vs. Mtn Estate 2012. Softer, indicative of the Napa appellation. Med acid, medium tannin. (2594 views) | | | Tasted by Quiet Lion on 5/18/2017 & rated 95 points: Beautiful, well-made young Napa Cab that required 30 minutes to open and then evolved over then next 90. Bright fruit with medium acid and big tannins. Very enjoyable with steaks. (2409 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

At Fisher Vineyards, crafting excellent wine is about two paths: one that allows truly unique single vineyards to speak through terroir; the other is the winemaking craft of blending small complementary lots of wine from various estate vineyards and varietals, expressing the winemaker's sense of harmony, balance, and complexity.Cabernet SauvignonCabernet Sauvignon is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth. It is rivaled in this regard only by its Bordeaux stablemate Merlot, and its opposite number in Burgundy, Pinot Noir. From its origins in Bordeaux, Cabernet has successfully spread to almost every winegrowing country in the world. It is now the key grape variety in many first-rate New World wine regions, most notably Napa Valley, Coonawarra and Maipo Valley. Wherever they come from, Cabernet Sauvignon wines always seem to demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, good tannin structure, moderate acidity and aromas of blackcurrant, tomato leaf, dark spices and cedarwood.
Used as frequently in blends as in varietal wines, Cabernet Sauvignon has a large number of common blending partners. Apart from the obvious Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the most prevalent of these are Malbec, Petit Verdot and Carmenere (the ingredients of a classic Bordeaux Blend), Shiraz (in Australia's favorite blend) and in Spain and South America, a Cabernet – Tempranillo blend is now commonplace. Even the bold Tannat-based wines of Madiran are now generally softened with Cabernet SauvignonCoach InsigniaThe Coach Insignia honors our family's tradition of craftsmanship, first represented in fine automobiles of the 20th century with Body by Fisher and now in Fisher Vineyards wines of the 21st century. The Coach Insignia Cabernet represents the pinnacle of our winemaking craft, comprised of the finest selected lots of Bordeaux varietals from our Napa Valley Estate.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
