The Winery

Corison

These aren’t the biggest or most obvious wines being made in the valley, but readers who are willing to spend some time getting to know these refined Cabernets will be amply rewarded.–Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Winegrower Cathy Corison produces artisanal Cabernet Sauvignon under her Corison label that speaks true to terroir, sourcing great benchland vineyards between the Rutherford and St. Helena appellations in Napa Valley. The winery, located in its timeless Victorian-style barn, is situated in the center of Cathy’s elusive Kronos Vineyard. Corison wines are unique in the fact that they are always 100% varietal. Additionally, their flagship Cabernet Sauvignon wines are held in high regard because they are not stereotypical rich, Napa Valley alcohol bombs, but instead have finesse and elegance that can carry them through years of aging. Cathy has been producing wine in the Napa Valley for nearly 30 years and has no intention of stopping any time soon!

Tasting Notes

WE94
This single-vineyard beauty is Corison’s cellar bet. Tasted beside her regular ’01 Napa Cab, it’s much deeper, darker and more brooding. It’s also far more tannic. It’s a big, flavorful wine, packed with plums, blackberries, currants and mocha, as well as a coating of sweet oak. This classic Cab should begin to soften in a few years and will drink well through 2012.
