This winery has been on a roll since the difficult 1998 vintage, and consulting winemaker Mia Klein has taken the Fisher wines to a new level of sophistication. Klein, who advised here for the first time in 2000, downplays her own contributions, but notes that the estate did a more careful job of harvesting in 2000. She describes today's Fisher wines as "cleaner, happier wines, showing better fruit character and reflecting less intervention in the winery." The 2000s are less sappy than the 2001s, with less development of flavor, she told me, but the tannins in 2000 were ripe. I thought they were among the better 2000s I sampled in California this winter.
