An intense elegant monster that needs lots of air. From the vineyard next to Beckstoffer, Los Piedras- heady with a bolt of iron mineral, black raspberry, red licorice. Savory. Complimentary color of brilliant dark garnet that looks like it would stain everything it touches. Classy and distinctive. — 20 days ago

Here’s to Cathy Corison of Corison Winery!!!

Wow, this Corison Cabernet Sauvignon is deliciously balanced; not overripe or overwrought…

It has a deep ruby hue with medium (+) intensity of aromas and flavors that span the spectrum of black cherry, black cassis, blackberry, blueberry, mulberry, violet, green bell pepper, graphite, pencil shavings, cedar box, clove, vanilla, cardamom, star anise, tobacco, leather, and wet earth.

On the palate it’s dry, with medium (+) acidity, a medium (+) body, medium (nearing high) alcohol at 13.8% ABV, high tannins that are fine-grained and well-integrated, and a long elegant finish.

This wine is top notch delicious revealing layers as it opens up.

It is the 2019 Corison St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon and is in a beautiful place. We sipped it as the golden hour approached and paired it with roasted chicken over a bed of arugula and cherry tomatoes, with lemon torchietti pasta, tossed in a Champagne-Dijon vinaigrette with sautéed haricots verts.

Cheers to beautiful California Cabernet Sauvignons! — a month ago

Aromas are off the charts lush blueberry and fruit. Wild. Taste is fruity and smooth with a bit of balance to avoid juiciness. Just enough structure — a month ago

PnP. Very nice. Not like most CA cabs which I appreciate. See previous notes as it’s a combo of each. — a month ago

What a treat opening this 27 year old Napa Valley Spottswoode Cabernet! A deep purple garnet color with some bricking. Nose - dark fruit and wet forest floor initially standout followed by subtle notes of blueberry dark chocolate, fennel and a touch of tobacco & spearmint. Taste - cherry and dark plum stand out giving it a luscious smooth feel. Well integrated with secondary notes of dark soil, crushed rock, espresso, cedar and a medium finish — a month ago

Black currant and granite nose. A bit ripe for me now as there’s quite a but of noticeable RS, and this is fairly extracted and needs to settle. But there are lots of pretty cab qualities. should age nicely. — a month ago
