The Chardonnays emanating from this estate are some of the finest now being made in California. The 1992 Chardonnay Whitney's Vineyard (only 300 six-bottle cases of this sure-fire superstar were produced) is a spectacularly concentrated Chardonnay. With a honeyed, tangerine/orange and buttery fruitiness, great ripeness, medium to full body, gorgeously integrated acidity, as well as a judicious dose of smoky new oak, this flavorful, complex, multidimensional Chardonnay should drink well for another 2-3 years. Fisher Vineyards, perched high in the mountains not far from the Sonoma/Napa county line, is making a bevy of profound wines that merit considerable interest. The rise in quality, complexity, and potential of Fisher's wines is one of the bright shining stories in recent California wine history. Proprietor Fred Fisher deserves considerable praise for moving his wines away from the tart, lean, highly acidified and processed, oenologically correct style, to wines bursting with personality, flavor, and high quality.
