Winemaker's Choice - #OpenTheCellar* - October 23-25 Cathy Corison chose the 2016 Corison Sunbasket Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon for this special offer, saying "Sunbasket has always been one of my favorite vineyards, long before we owned it. We’ve sourced it for over 30 years now, through three different owners. I have always valued it for it’s bright red and blue fruit aromas and flavors which eventually evolve into a lovely rose-petal and violet perfume with time in the bottle. https://bit.ly/3oi3dLF (Free shipping on all orders that include 2 bottles or 1 magnum of the 2016 Corison Sunbasket Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, going to states in the contiguous U.S. where we are permitted to ship (see www.corison.com/policies for a complete list), through 31 October, 2020.)#ThisIsOurNapa, #OpenTheCellar, #napavalleywine

Winemaker's Choice #OpenTheCellar* From 23-25 October, we join the Napa Valley Vintners and many other Napa Valley wineries in offering our winemaker's choice, the 2016 Corison Sunbasket Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Cathy Corison chose this wine, saying "Sunbasket has always been one of my favorite vineyards, long before we owned it. We’ve sourced it for over 30 years now, through three different owners. I have always valued it for it’s bright red and blue fruit aromas and f...lavors which eventually evolve into a lovely rose-petal and violet perfume with time in the bottle. 2016 was a nearly perfect vintage with a balanced crop and nary a day over 100F during the ripening season. The cool weather promoted inky color, complexity and snappy natural acidity for balance and longevity." Cathy's tasting notes: The 2016 Sunbasket Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon aromas jump out of the glass, including wildly complex Luxardo cherry, black raspberry, plums, blueberries and baking spices. Grace-notes include violet perfume and star anise. Rich and full in the mouth, the velvety but grippy tannins and bright natural acidity give it structure. Characteristic minerality completes the tasty package.

Winery Update from Cathy Corison: Along with my husband William Martin, daughters Rose and Grace, and our terrific staff, we have spent the last week protecting our wines and winery from the wildfires that burned in the hills surrounding the upper-Napa Valley. We are beyond grateful for the first responders who continue to work selflessly to keep our communities safe. Many have asked how they can help - one way is to donate to the Napa Valley Community Foundation, a local disaster relief fund. https://www.napavalleycf.org/ We are so lucky that our 2020 wines were in the barn and finishing fermentation when this fire started. With industrial-grade air purifiers inside the winery, we move forward as stewards of this vintage.
