Corley State Lane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Originally founded in 1980 as Monticello Vineyards, Corley Family Napa Valley is a family run winery. Deep Ruby with aromas of rich berry fruit, floral and big spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and blueberry with warm vanilla oak, tobacco, cacao and earthy cinnamon. Fine chewy tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice, vanilla oak and earthy notes, will still develop. A nice fillet mignon with mushroom gravy will go well with this big wine.

The fruit is obviously fresher but I get the same dryness (from wood tannins?) that I found in the 2005-vintage tasted alongside it.

Not my favorite Corley wine but overall a good wine.

This wine aged very well. Tannins softened giving a velvet mouthfeel. Black currants with warm spice on the finish. I would order again.

Black currant notes with a silky mouthfeel and a hint of spice.

Smooth and not a mouthful of tannins. Vintage 2006

Robust. Savory tannic. Chocolate under tones.
