Blackberry on the nose.

Really soft on the palate. Higher acid cab. Very consistent from the front of the palate to the end. No detectable tannins. Good finish but not a long finish.

60 minute decant. Nose of chocolate-covered cherries, thyme, and wet oak barrel. Rustic, chewy black cherry palate with graphite flecks, iron ore, and cherry acidity. Tannins still show some chew on the finish with clay, black plum, wet leaves, and lingering oak. Needs a couple more years in the bottle.

Drank with steak. Decanted for 90 minutes. Had so use strainer. Excellent wine but definitely showing its age. Still plenty of grape but becoming very subdue. Perhaps would decant a little longer.
The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is heavy sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry.

Definitely has a touch more fruit than the 18 or the 19 but still elegant and drinking beautifully. Starting to integrate more. I'd say this will be best in 10y but can drink very well now.

Tasted at the winery.

Little bit darker with more serious fruit than the 19. Bit more coiled up in structure too. Comparatively dark and inky but still has the classic Corison elegance. Mineral-driven tannins with red and darker fruits.

Should cellar for 15y no problem. 93

2019 Corison Cabernet Sauvignon

4/9/2024 - Rbhan12 Likes this wine: 92 points

Tasted at the winery. Lovely color. Wide open for business as many 2019s are (at least in my opinion). Lovely red cherries and raspberries, some darker fruits, lovely complexity. Medium to medium light body with supple tannins and nice acidity. Elegance and power.

Should do very well in the cellar but can hardly blame pulling corks now. 92+, personally slightly preferred the 18 here.

Tasted at the winery. 25 years young and you'd call it 10 if that. Pure red fruit with some density and sappy character. Loamy earth underneath.

Really nice and very elegant. A testament to Cathy's winemaking style. Will go another 10-15y no problem.

2013 Corison Cabernet Sauvignon Kronos Vineyard

4/7/2024 - ajrez Likes this wine: 94 points

It’s a unique, terrior driven wine. Perhaps not for everyone but I quite appreciated the divergence from the typical Napa cab and gave me a look at a different, uniquely compelling approach. It has some flaws but worth seeking out to provide a reference point compared to other, more mainstream producers. Candidly, I enjoyed it for what it wanted to bring to the conversation.

This wine has such a purity to it but it's also quite tannic still and needs a ton of decanting time. After 3 hours, it started to blossom especially with rack of lamb and a wonderful berry spice shows up to accompany the succulent acidity and beautiful black currant/cassis fruit. There's also a gritty Rutherford dust note which gives this wine excellent vigor. The finish is lean and stylish with a taut, mineral intensity. Interestingly, the '13 Kronos is more open than this wine. Trusting as I do in Cathy, I'll let this one sit for 5+ more years to reach peak. 93+

2014 Corison Gewürztraminer Corazón

Anderson Valley more

3/31/2024 - WindFlyer Likes this wine: 89 points

very pale golden straw colour and mildly viscous. delicate nose of rosewater, lychee, elderflower and coriander seed. dry, juicy and sharp in the mouth, a streak of lemony acidity runs from entry to finish. some fresh stonefruit flavours gain in prominence mid palate. as the wine warms, the coriander seed spice takes on a more gingery note and elderflower syrup accents bring in an unexpected twist of sweetness to a grapefruit pith base. moderate persistence.

likely past its prime by a couple of years, it's still an very enjoyable food wine in the right temperature window to display the moderate varietal character it has.

Thick dark maroon. Earth, dark berries, and cedar nose. Medium bodied, plum, blueberries, herbs and spices, perfect tannins, graphite, good acid, and a long delicious finish. Best on day 2. Lots of sediment.

I appreciate the restraint here - no jam to be found, with a savory herbaceous take on cherries, raspberry, and currant - but it could use some more depth all the same. Emerging tertiary tones are well integrated. Drunk over 4 hours with modest improvement over that time. Drink with food or hold to drink with food. Skeptical about the long term (2035-??) however.

Just not much nose and wine disappears on the back end. Decanted and resealed. Will try again on day #2 and hope for a better showing.

3/19/2024 - ppmm wrote: NR

Poured small tastes and decanted the rest. Extremely tight and unyielding on the nose and palate at first, showing only an intriguing whiff of wild blueberry in front of an armored wall. After two hours, this has become a lot more expressive: flowers and the same blueberry note, cassis too, edged with mint and sliding into a medium-long back end of black fruit and a little cedar. Overall impression is at the cool, blue end of the palette. Great depth, texture, and balance, but aromatically reticent; hold or decant far in advance.

Due to lack of foresight, this was only decanted for about 30 minutes before slow consumption over the evening. Initially the palate is a little overwhelmed with acid, tannins. Near the end of the evening the once outsized presence of acid quietly integrated with the emerging fruit and tannins. This needs a lot more time in bottle and/or a really long decant. Will revisit this next year …
