Corison Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 Review

Cathy Corison and her husband William Martin began their winemaking journey in the Napa Valley in the mid ‘80s buying fruit from other vineyards. In the mid ‘90s they bought land to plant their own vineyards and build their Victorian-style winery barn. For 35 vintages they have handcrafted their wines, and their love for wine shows in this wonderful and expressive Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose brings aromas of anise, wild berries, forest floor, and some flecks of pepper. Then the palate unveils flavors of juicy cherries and plums with hints of cocoa nibs, and spice. The mouthfeel is elegant yet powerful with unbelievable balance.
