Red ------------- ---	2001 Corison Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Appellation: Napa Valley Winemaker: Cathy Corison The 2001 Corison Cabernet is a beauty. Warm days and cool nights resulted in inky dark color, complex flavors and the terrific balance. The spare rainfall during the winter months favored a smaller than average crop, contributing uncommon intensity to the wine. It is the natural acidity in a wine that gives it the liveliness to be refreshing and the longevity to reward patient cellaring. Fleshing out this sturdy framework are rich, complex flavors and aromas. The red fruit notes include plum, ... ...read more Acclaim: THE CHRONICLE'S WINE SELECTIONS: San Francisco Chronicle STARS OF 2006 Jon Bonne December 29, 2006 Restaurant Wine ✭✭✭✭✭ Issue 103 October 2004 Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 90 points “Outstanding" Issue 114 May/June 2004 Wine & Spirits 90 points December 2005 Notes Buy 2001 Corison Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2000 cases produced Question?

Red ------------- ---	2004 Kronos Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Appellation: Napa Valley Winemaker: Cathy Corison I am delighted with the lovely 2004 Kronos Vineyard Cabernet. The season started with a very early spring and finished with a slow and steady ripening period with nary a day over 100?F. We picked very early, enjoying perfect weather. Extremely low yields resulted in exceptional concentration. A perfume of violets, dried rose petals and star anise in the aromas complements lush blackberry, dusty plum and black cherry flavors. Nutmeg, mineral, cedar and dark chocolate notes chime in. Delicious. 355 cases produced Question?

Red ------------- ---	2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Appellation: Napa Valley Winemaker: Cathy Corison The 2005 Corison Cabernet is classic and refined with great bones. September that year was unseasonably chilly and harvest was a full month later than normal. Time on the vine allowed the development of the full range of flavors that Cabernet can achieve (red and blue fruits grading into the darker, purple and black notes) at moderate alcohol. Cold nights promoted great natural acidity. Inviting aromas jump out of the glass. Cherry pie, complete with allspice, nutmeg and cardamom, dominates the ... ...read more Question?

By early June, the sun finally came out and the vines began to bloom and set fruit. Even, cool weather arrived at last with August (in the nick of time for flavor and color development) and continued through a very late harvest for a nearly perfect ripening season.

Red ------------- ---	2007 Corison Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Appellation: Napa Valley Winemaker: Cathy Corison 2007 was the first of three droughty years with only 60% of normal rainfall. Warm weather in March resulted in an early bud-break but a long, moderate to cool summer lengthened the ripening season nicely and yielded wonderful natural acidity in the grapes. After a short heat spike at the end of August the weather turned cool again for the rest of the season. Picking was leisurely. It was one of those vintages that made winemaking look easy. Warm, rich aromas feature cinnamon, pie crust, ripe pl... ...read more Acclaim: Stephen Tanzer 90-93 points California Grapevine Very highly recommended. 92 points, first place Connoisseur's Guide 2 puffs, 92 points Notes Buy 2001 Corison Cabernet Sauvignon Jon Bonné's No-stress guide to holiday wines.
