Corison
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Fresh off the bottling line. Slated for fall release. 25th (!?) anniversary label. Very challenging vintage, one of the best wines I've ever made. So looking forward to the next quarter-century.

1 person found it helpfulJan 12th, 2016I feel like I've been transported to Sante Fe. Clay pottery, windswept earth, grilled poblano pepper, and black cherry. Balance, depth, and complexity seem to come with such ease, and nothing is forced, which is especially noteworthy considering the vintage. Cathy Corison is the Georgia O'Keeffe of American wine.

Dec 19th, 2016Absolute textbook definition of Napa Valley Cabernet. Medium nose with cedar, blackberry, cherry, vanilla and baking spices (cloves and nutmeg) and worn saddle leather. Medium body with plenty of acidity to keep it mouthwatering and fresh. Cherry cola, blackberry, bramble, vanilla, cedar with a spicy, loooong finish. Very smooth tannins.

Aug 26th, 2015Beautiful wine now, can't wait to taste in 15 years. If drinking young give it a couple hours to open up, it's getting more expressive by the hour.

Jul 17th, 2015Effing awesome. One of my fave Napa cabs, gorgeous ripe structure with luscious body, perfumed and a perfect streak of acidity. Cathy is truly a G.
