Corison - Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2019

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Savory and complicated in saline, woody notes of cedar and dry tannin, this old-school wine is dark and structured, aged 20 months in French oak, half of it new. Brooding black fruit and clove give it an edgy richness that is restrained and balanced by underlying acidity. 

The 2019 vintage of the Napa Valley bottling of Cabernet Sauvignon from Cathy Corison will be released in the autumn of this year and will be well worth keeping an eye out for once it is available, as it is going to be stellar. The wine comes in at 13.8 percent and offers up an absolutely classical, Rutherford Bench nose of red and black cherries, cigar wrapper, a hint of eucalyptus, Rutherford Dust soil tones, peonies and nutty new oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and nascently complex, with superb mid-palate depth, great soil signature, fine-grained tannins and impeccable balance on the long, focused and utterly seamless finish. This wine is a synthesis of old school aesthetic cabernet sensibilities the refined touch of a winemaker with plenty of experience to get everything just absolutely perfect!

A very fresh, floral-laced style, offering a bright beam of cassis and plum gelée laced with flashes of violet, hibiscus and rose petal. Nicely grounded through the finish, with alder and warm earth hints filling in. Approachable, but this has more to show in time.
