A benchmark expression of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Corison's 2021 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon embodies winemaker Cathy Corison's philosophy of elegance, balance, and restraint. Sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards across the valley floor, this wine showcases the classic structure and purity that have made Corison a cult favorite among collectors and sommeliers.

Tasting Notes:
Aromas of blackcurrant, cassis, and wild herbs mingle with notes of cedar, graphite, and a whisper of violet. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied with silky tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of dark cherry, blackberry, and earthy minerality. The finish is long and refined, with subtle oak integration and remarkable freshness.

Winemaking:
Fermented with native yeasts and aged in French oak barrels (a mix of new and neutral), this wine reflects Cathy Corison's commitment to terroir-driven winemaking. The result is a Cabernet that speaks to place rather than power—built for the table and the cellar.

Pairing Suggestions:
Enjoy with grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, roasted lamb, or aged hard cheeses.
