Corison 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
Cathy Corison makes one of our favorite "true" Napa Cabernets from great benchland vineyards between Rutherford and St. Helena. If you haven't tried her Corison Cabs yet do yourself a favor and discover them now.
97 Points Decanter: "A totally seductive, fresh, and vibrant 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Cathy Corison showcasing fragrant black cherry and blue fruit aromatics, a hint of liquorice and incense, and toasty cedarwood. Medium to full-bodied, with silky boysenberry fruit, satiny tannins, a spine of tantalising acidity, and a long mineral-rich finish lifted by tangerine peel and grapefruit zest. Aged 20 months in French oak barrels, of which 50% were new. The winery has been a Napa staple almost since opening
its doors in 1987."
95 Points Wine Spectator: "This takes an elegant approach, offering racy, refined notes of iris, violet, hibiscus and mulberry that stay focused and fresh from start to finish, flashing light mineral and anise accents along the way. The finish glistens with purity, and the precision should allow this to evolve nicely in the cellar. Drink now through 2040."
Robb Report "The 7 Best Cabernet Sauvignons from Napa Valley’s St. Helena AVA":
(The) 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of anise, cedar, tobacco leaf, and black currant. It is both elegant and restrained on the palate with flavors of dried herbs, violet, black raspberry, red plum, and black cherry. It’s drinking nicely right now but it wouldn’t hurt to lay a few bottles down for future enjoyment."
The result of a nearly perfect, long and cool ripening season (and oblivious to the Covid chaos swirling around it), the Corison 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon was picked and in the barn fully two and a half weeks before the Glass Fire broke out. Industrial-grade air filters kept smoke out of the winery as the wines went down to barrels. We are so grateful, and relieved, to present the lovely 2021.
