Rich and chewy texture. Sweet tomato and sweet/ripe plum, sweet/acidic blueberry pie with cream. But obviously not actually sweet, and not overripe. Very nice.

Funky tart fruit, short tannic finish ..stop trying to make this thing into a wine it is not. Should rate it lower but the funky is slightly interesting . Doesn’t matter when you drink this mess, the tartness is not curable. Seems to be a lot of bottle variation due to cork issues.

Not many 13.6% abv wines being made in napa these days. The style is apparent immediately. Red fruited and tart and tangy and still carrying a bit of acid. But it's got enough body and flavor to carry it. This isn't the kronos vineyard but still westside benchlands vineyards which aren't that far away. Raspberry and more raspberry and some olive and forest floor. Probably a drink now but not on its last legs.

(Corison Cabernet Sauvignon) Very dark purple red violet color; black currant, tart blackberry, cedar nose; poised, tart black currant, tart berry, tart black fruit, cedar, espresso palate with medium acidity; needs 2-3 years and should go 15-20; medium-plus finish
