The two current Cabernet Sauvignon releases, the Coach Insignia and the Wedding Vineyard, are both exceptional wines. They are among the finest of the outstanding 1991 vintage. The 1991 Cabernet Sauvignon Wedding Vineyard is more backward than the Coach Insignia, as well as strikingly rich and unequivocally superb. There are only 100 six-bottle cases of this Sonoma Cabernet. The wine exhibits a black/purple color, and a tight but promising nose of cassis, underbrush, vanillin, and chocolate-covered black-raspberries. Full-bodied, with superb definition, structure, and tannin, this wine possesses immense concentration and a wonderfully natural mouthfeel. It should open up with 2-4 more years of cellaring and keep for at least 20 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.
