Note di degustazione
Dark medium red. Musky scents of plum, cassis, chocolate, iron filings and licorice, lifted by a floral nuance. Supple, silky and suave on entry, then fine-grained and flavorful but quite subtle as well in the middle palate, with strong acidity and a light herbal element giving definition and lift to the dark berry, spice and bitter chocolate flavors. Medium- rather than full-bodied, but long on flavor. Dry, savory and very suave, if perhaps a tad tart, with the structure to go on for another decade at least. Finishes with a firm spine and excellent length and lift. Will this still-taut Cabernet become more pliant?

Black cherry, plenty of overt fruit power. Opulent and powerful. Very little complexity though. (RH)

Cathy Corison is one of Napa’s leading lights – a matriarch of the region who crafts defiantly elegant Cabernet Sauvignon from her old vines on the benchland between Rutherford and St Helena. These refined, long-ageing wines are some of Napa’s most impressive.
