09’ Last time we enjoyed this was a few years back. Amazing how this wine has turned. Truly a PNP at this point.

Super silky tannins and with that ripeness that surely was meant to appeal to many palates including my own several years ago.
This is a solid and very good wine in no immediate danger of falling off the cliff.
However as with many of the high octane Napa cult CS that I started to stock up on 15+ years ago I’ve realized that I’m often lacking a bit of “personality” over time and would suggest to pop the corks and enjoy this over the next 1-2 years.

09’ Corra Cabernet.
100% Cabernet From Rutherford,Oakville, Pritchard Hill. Decant for at least an hour! Blowing off a bit of sediment.
Without a doubt one my favorite Napa 2009’s.
Color-Dark ruby red/purple.
Just quite expressive from the very fist sip. Dark black fruits, dark chocolate flavors. Violet, tobacco leaf, tar.
Medium body, with silky tannins & nice length. 10 years in it. I do love Celia Welch wines!

Wow. Blew me away on my first date, and young enough for me to be ashamed... So rich and dark chocolatey, dark, dark fruit and wet earth. It just kept changing in the glass. Sock this away if you can show some restraint...the tannins say this will top the voluptuous scales in 5-10 years and I don't mean in the @Bill Bender way (not that there's anything wrong with that!)
