Christian's Pick

FOUNTAINHEAD, CABERNET SAUVIGNON, "MORISOLI BORGES VINEYARD" RUTHERFORD, 2002 $45
Fountainhead is a delicious 100% Cabernet from one of the best vineyards in one of the best growing districts in the Napa Valley. This is the first vintage from partners Sam Sharp and Jason Fisher. This wine is rich, concentrated, and plump, with aromatic and flavor notes of currants and blackberries, shaded by hints of mocha. The wine shows excellent balance, with integrated tannins and a wonderfully plush mouth feel. Enjoyable now but can only improve with age for up to 10 years. Only 168 cases were produced!...96 Baker Points
