Note di degustazione
(14.7%): Bright red-ruby. Expressive aromas of currant, raspberry, smoked meat, mocha, licorice, menthol and roasted herbs. Plump, fine-grained wine with still-fresh cherry and redcurrant fruit lifted by cooler herb and licorice notes. Nicely suave wine with well-managed dusty tannins, repeating herb and menthol notes and a bit of finishing warmth.

Sadly, we had an off bottle of Celia Welch’s 2007 Corra Cabernet Sauvignon. It happens.
(this is consulting winemaker Celia Welch's label; the fruit is from Pritchard Hill as well as vines in Rutherford and Oakville) Bright medium ruby. Very ripe, sweet aromas of dark raspberry, plum syrup, earth and spicy oak. Sweet, lush and mouthfilling, with noteworthy concentration to its plum, currant, dark chocolate and mineral flavors. Complementary cedary oak and ripe acidity give this wine plenty of sex appeal. The Oakville site is a natural acidifier, notes Welch, as the fruit ripens completely at a low pH level. Finishes broad and sweet, with slightly edgy tannins.
Corra’s superb 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon’s opaque blue/purple color is followed by subtle aromas of charcoal, white chocolate, blackberries, black currants, and background oak. Deep and full-bodied with impressive texture and purity, this 2007 is accessible now, but promises to evolve for 20+ years. Tel. and Fax (707) 963-4523
