Corison

A wonderful mineral streak and forest-floor earthiness run up the middle and a precocious violet perfume enhances the aromas.

A true classic Napa Valley Cabernet; Cathy Corison has out-done herself with this vintage, offering dark brooding flavors of berries and cassis with notes of leather and spice; elegant and balanced.

92 PTS WINE ADVOCATE. The '08 Corison Cabernet Sauvignon comes across as very classic; dark plum, herbs, cassis and tobacco aromas; a beautifully delineated, elegant wine; impresses with its finesse.

89 PTS WILFRED WONG. A classic Cabernet, the sturdy '03 Corison starts out with fine aromas of black fruit, dusty earth, and graphite; firm on the palate; long and lusty with leather in the finish.

91 PTS WINE ENTHUSIAST. The '01 Corison Cab is for immediate consumption; lush and gentle in tannins, with upfront flavors of blackberries, cocoa and green olives; possesses great balance and charm.
