Cathy Corison founded her eponomyous winery in 1987, and has made her mark as one of the top producers of balanced, age-worthy, classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Her wines are know for their moderate alcohol, beguiling complexity and, most surprisignly, affordability. Cathy's mission is to create world-class Cabernet Sauvignon with integrity. All her vineyards are farmed sustainably, and the vineyards and winery are operated with a minimal carbon footprint. Cathy’s winemaking is largely non-interventionist, with gentleness at every step. Everything she does is geared toward getting all the goodness out of the grapes and leaving anything undesirable behind. When fermentation is complete, the wines go down to small French oak barrels to spend the next 20 months undergoing the magical alchemy that is wine aging. These are truly some of the great, traditional and distinctive Napa Valley Cabernets to be found anywhere in the Valley.
The Corison Cabernet Sauvignon displays a deep inky purple. The nose is full of dark berries and stone fruits accented with notes of rose petals and purple flowers.The palate is dense and powerful, though concurrently showcase a lovely elegance. Ripe flavors of black raspberries, marionberries, dark cherry and plum are supported by firm, though velvety, tannins which help frame secondary hints of baking spice, cocoa and anise. The wine finishes with remarkable complexity and length.

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. Enjoy best 2029-2039.
Wine Spectator

A very fresh, floral-laced style, offering a bright beam of cassis and plum gelee 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. Best from 2023 through 2036. 3,000 cases made.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is full of charm. It offers all of the natural intensity of the year, with bright acids that keep the flavors bright. Sweet red cherry, plum, cedar, tobacco and spice all build effortlessly. This open-knit yet classically built Cabernet is likely to offer a wide window of drinkability over the next 15-20 years. As always, Cathy Corison's Napa Valley Cabernet is a blend of three sites in St. Helena.

Lots of dark, blackcurrants, cassis, darker chocolate, and hints of violets emerge from the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, a medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced St. Helena Napa Cabernet Sauvignon offering nicely integrated acidity, terrific balance, and a great finish. This quintessential Cathy Corison Cabernet shines on all accounts. It's going to evolve for two decades. 3000 cases.
