  This is NOW one of my top CA cabs! My problem is having to wait to drink her wine. It is still not at the peak of the drinking window, but is getting there. This is so mellow, perfect acidity and tannins with dark fruit flavors (aromas of the same mixed with forest). The full body but smooth lasting finish make this one of my top, along with Ms. Bryant!

  Opened this tonight as I consider the 2018 allocation I got today. Seems to be in a very nice spot now. Drank over three hours after a 1.5 hour decant. It opened nicely and was more expressive over that time. This seems to be typical of most 2014s - more approachable early. Overall, an excellent wine coming into its prime. Makes ordering the 2018 Corra very easy.

  A very smooth, feminine wine with a medium to light finish. Not nearly as good as my last bottle from a few years ago, which leads me to believe the drinking window is starting to close. Dark fruits with hints of spice and cola, but not much complexity. Quite a drop off from 3 years ago, though it could be due to bottle variation. I have one bottle left, which I don’t plan on holding past this year.

  I’m going to join in on fellow CT (AGELVIS) tasting note of 12/27/2019. Three hour slow-ox then a four hour decant.

  Ten hour decant. Deep dark magenta color. Rich maraschino cherry, nutmeg, blackberry, sugar cookie and subtle cola on the fruit forward nose. Silky smooth palate, with nice acidity. Firm tannins on the medium long finish.
  
  This is a lovely, well-integrated wine, but I expect more at this price point. The fruit is a bit too dominant and it masks the complexity. The finish is also on the short side of medium long.
