Corison Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2017

- 97 Wine Review Online, Rich Cook: „I’ve certainly made no secret of my affinity for Cathy Corison’s wines – time and time again, she brings out the magic in a vintage with care and grace, seeking true expression of time and place without force of hand. The legacy continues here, and I’m not going to spoil your discovery with a detailed description. If you want a window into what Cathy is all about, taste this bottling alongside the 2016 vintage. The wines’ characteristics couldn’t be more different within the Cabernet spectrum, but the crystalline quality and execution couldn’t be more the same. A true California treasure she is, and this bottle is another example. Brava!“

- 96 Punkte FALSTAFF, Peter Moser: „Man kann fast den staubigen Boden von St. Helena riechen, dessen Tiefe sich mit der schönen Mischung aus dunklen Früchten vermischt, man denke an Brombeeren und reife Pflaumen. An der Luft zeigen sich Anklänge von Kerzenwachs und Graphit. Der Gaumen ist geschmeidig und reif, feste, dichte Tannine fühlen sich an wie gestärkter Samt, sie sind elegant und von feiner Frische umrissen. Reinste Brombeere glänzt mit Graphit im frischen, langen Abgang. Trinkempfehlung 2025-2040.“

- 95 Punkte WINE ENTHUSIAST, Virginie Boone: „From benchland vineyards, the winemaker's perennial beauty of a wine is structured, evolved, graceful and complex, with powerful floral aromatics of rose and violet. Earthy and herbal, it tastes of rock and iron, with bright underlying invitations of cassis, tangy cherry and plum. This will do well in the cellar; enjoy best from 2027 through 2030.“

- 94 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: „A succulent red with currants and fine, lightly dusty tannins. Medium to full body. Cedar and hazelnuts at the finish. Extremely refined and delicious. Drink now or hold.“

- 94 Punkte DECANTER Jordan Mackay: „Rich and dark-fruited with violet high tones and earthy, stony base notes. It has a rich, mouthfilling texture with fine, polished tannins providing a bit of grip, carrying cassis and dark cherry notes deep into the finish. 2028-2035“
