2003 Fisher Coach Insignia Cabernet Sauvignon

Marvelous. Upon opening up it was a bit tight, but with a quick burst of black fruit before the tannins grabbed a hold. After 30 minutes, the fruit became more pronounced and the aromas really came through. Still young and with such a high alcohol content (14.8%) it's capable of aging for an extended period and adopting the markers of aged Napa Cabernet. Perfect with the porterhouse and a medley of snow peas, squash, red, yellow, and orange peppers sauteed in olive oil with garlic, butter, and lemon. Not too bad for my first solo cooking session...who knew?
