Corison Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Cathy Corison founded her eponomyous winery in 1987, and has made her mark as one of the top producers of balanced, age-worthy, classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Her wines are know for their moderate alcohol, beguiling complexity and, most surprisignly, affordability. Cathy's mission is to create world-class Cabernet Sauvignon with integrity. All her vineyards are farmed sustainably, and the vineyards and winery are operated with a minimal carbon footprint. Cathy’s winemaking is largely non-interventionist, with gentleness at every step. Everything she does is geared toward getting all the goodness out of the grapes and leaving anything undesirable behind. When fermentation is complete, the wines go down to small French oak barrels to spend the next 20 months undergoing the magical alchemy that is wine aging. These are truly some of the great, traditional and distinctive Napa Valley Cabernets to be found anywhere in the Valley. 

The Corison Cabernet Sauvignon displays a deep inky purple. The nose is full of dark berries and stone fruits accented with notes of rose petals and purple flowers.The palate is dense and powerful, though concurrently showcase a lovely elegance. Ripe flavors of black raspberries, marionberries, dark cherry and plum are supported by firm, though velvety, tannins which help frame secondary hints of baking spice, cocoa and anise. The wine finishes with remarkable complexity and length.
