Cathy Corison makes one of our favorite "true" Napa Cabernets from great benchland vineyards between Rutherford and St. Helena. If you haven't tried her Corison Cabs yet do yourself a favor and discover them now. 95 Points International Wine Report: "The 2013 is another remarkable wine to add to the impressive list of amazing Napa Valley Cabernet from Cathy Corison. This instantly opens with irresistible aromas of fresh ripe blackberries and currants woven together with loads of intense violets and graphite, along with hints of dried sage and pencil shavings. On the palate this shows remarkable concentration and depth, yet remains beautifully balanced and focused with wonderful purity through the velvety, layered finish. This improves with each second in the glass and I only expect this to continue to evolve gracefully for many years to come. The 2013 certainly has a wonderful future in store." 96 Points Decanter: "“Beautifully perfumed aromas of rose petal, voilets, blackberry, dark chocolate and incipient cigar tobacco burst from the glass in a striking array, the prelude to a wine that’s structured around refined, savory tannins and juicy acidity. An ethereal and classically proportioned Cabernet which will age effortlessly thanks to it’s flawless balance, likely putting on weight with bottle age. Terrific stuff: not to be missed. Drink 2023-2064."

Wow! So I stand by my assessment of Napa '14. Beautiful blue fruit that is so smooth and mouth coating. I dare you to drink just one.

Still has its youth, but it is maturing. Tannins on the nose, rich dark fruit and mellow tannins on the palate. Finishes with dark cherries, dark chocolate.

10yrs from vintage date and Cathy’s favorite spot. I wouldn’t disagree. More aromatic now but fruit still deep with velvety tannins. Kronos up next!
