Fisher Vineyards
Lamb Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Youthful! Darker towards the front of the palate. Stewed and baked red and black fruit with cedar wrapped tobacco aromatics. Red and black licorice on the palate with chalky tannins. Cherry cordial on the finish with even some cherry liqueur. Just now starting to channel some savory notes but very faint. Really enjoyable bottle from @Keith Fisher .

From dinner at Rare Steakhouse.
Deep garnet red. Rich nose with layers of red berries, cassis, damp herbs, eucalyptus, underbrush and damp earth. Well rounded with medium tannins (6/10) and medium to medium plus bodied. Rich palate with layers of black fruits, dark spices, damp loamy earth, cherries and black plums. Long and plush finish. Drink for another few years (2022).
Always love wines from the Lamb Vineyard in Napa Valley and this was no exception. Made up of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Lamb Vineyard up near Howell Mountain. Aged for 21 months in 100% new French oak barrels (Taransaud). Only 14.0% alcohol and only 340 cases produced. Thank you Chris for helping us through the wines!
$$$$ - Purchased at RARE Steakhouse in Washington, DC for 50% off bottle night (every Sunday) for $135.00. Recent vintage retails for around $150.00.
