Christian Fischer 2004 Premium Gradenthal Red (Thermenregion)
- Cellar Selection
- $35
Any thought that Austria cannot produce world-class reds would disappear with this wine. A blend of Zweigelt, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, it is powerful, rich and spicy, with dense black cherry and new wood flavors. The touch of nutmeg sprinkled over the juicy fruit adds an exotic touch.

Christian Fischer 2004 Premium Merlot (Thermenregion)
- $50
There’s considerable richness in this broad, generous, velvet- textured wine that brings out the red fruit and ripeness. The 18-months barrel aging have not dampened the fruit, but have certainly contributed to the power of this impressive wine.

Christian Fischer 2004 Premium Pinot Noir (Thermenregion)
- $37
The clay slopes around the village of Soss have produced an impressively dense Pinot Noir, rich, with evidence of wood aging and soft opulence. The black fruits are dominant, but this is superripe, powerful and dense.

Christian Fischer 2004 Classic Pinot Noir (Thermenregion)
- $24
Thermenregion, just west of Vienna, is getting a reputation for its international varietal red wines. This Pinot Noir shows how, even at a good, value-drinking level, the wines have good intensity and complex flavors. This has black cherry flavors, along with a touch of wood. A delicious ready-to-drink wine.

Christian Fischer 2005 Fasangarten Classic Zweigelt (Thermenregion)
- $17
This is an easy, juicy wine, entry-level wine in Christian Fischer’s impressive range of reds. It has delicious strawberry and berry fruits, an open softness, balanced with acidity and a friendly, earthy feel.

Christian Fischer 2004 Fasangarten Classic Zweigelt (Thermenregion)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Filled with blackberries and pepper on the nose, this is a bit Syrah-like in aromatic profile. Medium-bodied, it carries the flavors well, ending with tart berries and more pepper. Could stand more length and concentration, but this is tasty nonetheless.

Christian Fischer 2004 Classic St. Laurent (Thermenregion)
- $23
A big, hearty wine, packed with dense fruit, blackberry jelly flavors, ripe, earthy and generous. There is some wood here, and the juicy full fruits. A delicious wine for stews, hearty meats.

Christian Fischer 2003 Pinot Noir (Thermenregion)
- Online Exclusive
- $38
The mouthfeel of this Austrian Pinot Noir is supple and lush, but the aromas are a bit dull, filled with roasted fruit and charred oak. The plum and black cherry flavors seem lightly caramelized and lacking length.
