Among Fisher’s 2006 reds, the top wines include the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Wedding Vineyard, a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Cabernet Franc. Its opaque ruby/purple hue is accompanied by aromas of damp earth, black currants, blueberries, and spring flowers. Deep, medium to full-bodied, and moderately tannic, it reveals some austerity, but there is enough concentration to balance out the wine’s structure. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and consume it over the following 15-20.
As it does elsewhere in northern California, 2007 appears to be a much stronger vintage for Bordeaux varietals at Fisher.
