(Winemaker: Cathy Corison)The 2021 pours a deep and opaque ruby to purple in the glass. The nose opens with aromas of currant, blue fruits, cedar, tobacco, baked earth, and a bit of rosemary. The palate has a presence to it but the tannins are quite well integrated with currants, cedar, tobacco, a gravelly minerality, and a hit of orange peel. This 100% Cabernet is delightful and shows the purity of fruit that the best wines from the Corison family carry. - D&M TASTING NOTES (MK, 06/2025)CRITICAL ACCLAIM: "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.” - 97 PTS, JONATHAN CRISTALDI, DECANTER
