Deep ruby red. Reserved nose with blackfruits, cherries, currants, gravel, tobacco leaves and some light spices. Medium tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus bodied. A bit of acidity on the palate with notes of forest floor, restrained black fruits, smoked meats and dark gravel. Long finish. Drink till 2022. — 12 days ago

This showed beautiful balance and a noteworthy structure. Earthy nose of sage and other dried herbs, sort of a damp forest floor thing, and dried but firm red and black fruit. It tasted bold and subtle at the same time - one of the best examples of Old and New World styles in the same bottle I’ve ever experienced. The closest thing I can think to compare it to is a Corison Cab. Very complex now, but will certainly improve. I look forward to revisiting this again. — 22 days ago

Lychee, apricot and maybe roses?!
Perfect on its own, yet with a short finish. — 2 months ago

Wow. Downright youthful. Gorgeous. Plums still dominate. Earth. Rich and full but still lively with acidity. Floral perfume. Thank you Jason Wise. I made this wine. It was one of the great vintages of the decade. The same year I founded Corison Winery. Great vintage. — a month ago

Wonderful wine. Balanced, elegant, so enjoyable. It’s not your everyday Napa cab. The fruit is present, and delicious, but not the star of the show. It’s the way this comes together that makes this wine so enjoyable. The tannins are present, but the acidity stands out more prominently than other cabs. Borders on bright acidity of a great Rioja. Drink this with and amazing duck dish or rich mushroom pasta. Cheers @Cathy Corison another beautiful expression of what Napa cab can do. — a month ago
