1993 Fisher Cabernet Sauvignon Wedding Vineyard
UNITED STATES / CALIFORNIA / SONOMA
Wine Spectator | Rating: 90
Firm, ripe and intense, this is a bit gritty in texture but the flavors are right on, with tiers of currant, mint, cherry and berry that fold together nicely on the finish. 584 cases made.Author: James LaubeWine Advocate | Rating: 93
Fred Fisher has performed a complete turnabout with respect to the quality of his wines. For much of this decade his Chardonnay, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon have been among the most exciting wines being made in California. The 1993 reds appear to be richer and more impressive than the 1994s. Proprietor Fred Fisher produces 600 cases of a Wedding Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, which is extremely chocolatey and concentrated. The 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon Wedding Vineyard is a rich, authoritatively flavored, gorgeously pure, intense wine with plenty of smoky, toasty oak married to ripe, super-intense fruit. This full-bodied, tannic, large-scaled Cabernet Sauvignon should drink well upon its release next year and last for 20 years. It was interesting to see how crisp, restrained, and less concentrated Fisher's 1994s were when compared to the extremely rich and successful 1993s.Author: Robert Parker
The winery was founded in 1973, when Fred and Juelle Fisher purchased 100 acres in the Mayacamas Mountains on the western slope of Spring Mountain. There, they built a winery tucked in among the vines and Douglas Firs. The winery itself is a product of the estate, built from the timber that was cut and milled on-site.
In 1976, the family found another 57 acres on the Silverado Trail in the Napa Valley. The property runs from the Napa River to the Eastern Vaca Range, adjacent to the famed Eisele Vineyard, and is the source of thier Lamb Vineyard Cabernet, Coach Insignia Cabernet and Cameron Bordeaux Blend.
