March 3, 2024 - Very nice. Some umami alongside the fruit - tomato paste, iron, maybe even seared steak.
Age-developed and complex, but still leads with fresh purple fruit. Balanced, mostly; if it leaned any direction, it would lean towards a bit of ripeness. -

August 4, 2023 - What a gorgeous wine. This is one of those wines I experience from time to time that truly take me to a happy place. It's an old school Napa Cab, as is Cathy Corison's style, in that it's elegant and restrained, ripe, but not overripe. It's all about balance with Corison wines, nothing over the top. I don't know for a fact, but would imagine grapes were picked at a Brix around 24-25ish. Blackberries, cherries, dried herbs, tobacco, great acidity, well integrated oak, just many of the things I love in a Cab were in there. This is the 6th bottle from this vintage we've had over the years, including a magnum we bought at the winery in 2015 and it's aging beautifully. I did not decant, but rather slow ox'd it - I think that was the right call - and served with juicy top sirloin burgers at the cottage. I've got a few bottles left, and don't feel rushed to open them. Superb.

June 18, 2023 - Intense magenta. Toasted oak, violets, and blueberry nose. Light to medium bodied, blackberries, spices, cherry compote, sweet tannins, good acid, and a nice long finish where the fruit hangs on for an impossibly long time. Terrific.
