  incredibly smooth cab franc from Cathy Corison, a little green pepper on the nose but blackberries and other dark fruits as well.
  
  on the palate, medium acidity and medium tannins that have certainly relaxed. You can still get a little green peppercorn and plenty of black fruit as well, not too ripe but not too tart.

  Beautiful Cab Franc, medium bodied with luscious fruit in the middle. A classy wine.

  Ganske parfymert, krydret, bare et hint av grønn paprika, noe mint; tørrende, men ikke fra fat, strukturert, middels vekt, OK lengde - men heller ikke mer, strukturert og tørrende finish

  Richer than most Corison wines I have tried, this is still restrained for Napa. Deep red fruit, a bit of earth, and just barely there fresh herb tones create a balanced aromatic, and fresh palate presence. It’s mid-weight for a Napa wine, so it packs plenty of flavor. No sense of overdone richness, or extreme late harvest. There’s good tannic structure to keep thing in line. Could be a candidate for some significant cellar time, though I really enjoyed it tonight.
