Insane Diego Likes this wine: 90 points
April 18, 2019 - Unity wine from Fisher...stumbled across this label in a restaurant in 2008 when my choice was not available. We liked it then, visited the winery, got the story of the blending of Cab grapes from different parcels each year. Came back to Fisher in 2009 and got engaged (surprising everyone) during a family lunch under the winery trees.
Well we were getting married in 2010 blending 2 families, and this WINE seemed like the perfect choice. So we bought 20 cases.
Still drinking a couple each year and when celebration of our anniversary.
Last nights bottle was still drinking well.
We opened for an hour and decanted another 30 minutes. May try a longer opening time on the next one. Nose is a bit harsh at first with a bit of chemical/farmhouse going on and then the herbal/berry comes on.
Taste was good (but i am biased!!) This wine needs big food to soften the still prevalent tannin's IMO.
Black fruit still hanging in there and the finish is smooth and a bit short, but seems to have lost the SILKY smooth or velvet texture i remember. Easy drinking with the some spicy Elk Sausage Chile, but only remarkable because of my personal connection~
Hope to be enjoying this wine, and my marriage another 25+ years!!2 people found this helpful 1,659 views
