Fisher Vineyards Mountain Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc.

This inaugural vintage is perfectly timed with a season that offered beautiful balance and tannic structure that rivals Bordeaux. Aromas of violet, black cherry and blackberry rise from the glass. The palate boasts a broad range of flavors that is a continuous progression of fresh blackberry, currant, espresso bean and bitter sweet chocolate, followed by oak spices reminiscent of a sweet cigar box mixed with toasted hazelnut coffee. These flavors linger with fine grain, velvet-like tannins; the finish has tremendous length and persistence.
