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

D95
Another classic from Cathy Corison, the 2014 Cabernet displays a pretty bouquet of black cherry, petroleum jelly, cocoa nib and dried rose. On the palate the wine is intense, nicely concentrated and texturally refined, with good depth and a lovely line of bright acidity which lends a crunchy edge to the fruit. Drink from 2020-2040.
V95
Cathy Corison has been on an absolutely incredible run as she is producing some of the most compelling and consistent Cabernet Sauvignon in all of Napa Valley, and her 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is another simply outstanding effort. As this begins to open it releases a complex range of seductive aromatics, including blackberries and dark currants, which are woven together with spring florals, graphite, spices and crushed stones along with a lovely savory character all taking shape. This well-structured Cabernet continues to impress on the palate with its full-bodied, polished texture and remarkable overall balance and depth, which leads into the long, layered finish. While this is already showing plenty of early appeal, the 2014 is ultimately an age worthy wine, which will thrive in the cellar for well over a decade. (Best 2019-2035)
