Fisher Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Coach Insignia - 2001(W-165)

Fisher Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Coach Insignia
Big Powerful

Winery Story

Fisher Vineyards was founded in 1973, when Fred and Juelle Fisher purchased 100 acres in the Mayacamas Mountains on the western slope of Spr... (more...)ing Mountain. Today, two of their three children, Robert and Whitney, join them at the winery. Whitney recently succeeded Mia Klein as winemaker.

Tasting Note

This is a serious Cabernet - a huge wine with tremendous aging potential. It is delicious now and should improve over the next 5-10 years. T... (more...)annins are firm but not overwhelming, flavors of dark chocolate and cassis are punctuated by a thick velvety texture and luxurious finish. The Coach Insignia honors the Fisher family's tradition of craftsmanship, first represented in fine automobiles of the 20th century with “Body by Fisher” and now in Fisher Vineyards wines of the 21st century.

Bouquet stronger than taste. Excellent plum, juicy taste... smoky and flinty. 'Wet stones' per Adam. Really, really nice wine. March 26, 2006.

Bottlenotes Team NoteMarch 22, 2006
One of the smoothest Napa Valley Cabernets in all the land. Love Fisher Family's story as well. The fact that they first gained acclaim for "Body by Fisher," and this early 20th century story now translates into the same highest-quality product as Fisher Vineyard's Coach Insignia is wonderfully charming.

A bit of aftertaste. Seemed smooth at first, but with food, it was somewhat tangy.
