Saw this in restaurant with one of the top five largest private cellars in the country. They actually had it by the glass, for a rich $19. I asked the waiter, "Seriously. Is it worth it?" He said it was and brought me a taste. It was worth it. I went on a quest to find it, but sadly discovered it was exclusively allocated to the restaurant. This was phenomenal.

A boldly precocious nose of huckleberry and white cherry tart. The palate is exceptionally deep with anise, black figs, earthy tar and creme cassis. Pure blackberry extract on the finish. Excellent tannins will keep this wine humming for years.

(includes 10% cabernet franc) Good red-ruby color. Black fruits and flowers on the captivating nose. Sweet and silky on entry, then concentrated in the middle, with slightly roasted dark fruit flavors given shape by juicy acidity. This offers considerable early appeal but has plenty of broad, ripe tannins to support aging. Incidentally, the Fishers are in the process of replanting the Wedding Vineyard behind the house and will have their first crop from the new vines in 2005.
