Howard Roark Did Not Make This Wine

Jason Fisher did. Howard could have. The book is indeed the inspiration for the winery name. Jason is one of four partners in Fountainhead. All are young yet seasoned Napa wine professionals, and their ambition is to make many wines as good as this. You’ll be hearing plenty about Fountainhead in the not-too-distant future.
First-release Cabernet from “Morisoli Borges” vineyard in Rutherford.
100% Cabernet, 50% new French oak. 168 cases.
My notes:  Fantastic balance. Pleasingly ripe with mouth
watering acidity. Complementing sweet barrel undertones.
Ripe, juicy, and very delicious now. Will go 10 years easy.
