March 3, 2024 - Oh wow. This is a rich, well-structured wine with balanced acidity and ripe red fruit. It's open now and drinking well.

January 28, 2021 - When I open a bottle of Corison Cabernet Sauvignon I expect precision, elegance, and refinement. The Sunbasket Cabernet Sauvignon delivers that in abundance. Some might find it too elegant, but I just love the balance, and the detail in the aromatics. Where it really grabs me is the finish, which is all about sustain. There’s a very long future ahead for this wine, and a long sleep for my other bottles.

October 5, 2020 - A good friend and acknowledged wine snub loves Corison wines. He was generous and brought three vintages of the Sunbasket Vineyard to an enjoyable tasting. The Sunbasket vineyard is a recent purchase by Corison. I had a small taste of the 14 and 16 vintages. I don't really get the hype, finding the wine too subtle for me. I much more enjoyed a Torrin Syrah, a musar, and a Lynmar Pinot.
