The first time I ever spent more on wine than I really should was on my very first visit to Corison, age 21. I still haven’t opened the bottle from that purchase, but every time I taste Corison I’m reminded how special this winery is in my wine development. I remember tasting this wine with Cathy Corison from her newly purchased Sunbasket Vineyard a year before release. It’s only gotten better - structured yet delicate, floral yet savory, it lives in a calm tension that’s deceptively more firm despite its captivating nuance.

Just as excellent on Mauna Kea at 13,800-ft as it is at the hotel. Deep blue and black fruit notes, great with smoke, long finish and the contrast to the Kronos of the same vintage

Incredible how much this changes in the hours after opening. From structured and imposing to relaxed and warmly spicy...beautiful all around. We just couldn't wait although this wine had decades of life left clearly
