The Corison Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 is a timeless Napa Valley wine, crafted by the legendary Cathy Corison, known for her elegant and age-worthy Cabernets. This vintage, from a year of balanced ripeness, displays a deep ruby hue and a refined bouquet of black cherry, cassis, and violets, with subtle notes of graphite, spice, and earth. On the palate, it is poised and harmonious, with silky tannins and vibrant acidity framing flavors of dark fruit, mocha, and a touch of minerality. The wine’s elegance reflects Corison’s philosophy of minimal intervention and terroir-driven winemaking, with grapes sourced from prime Napa Valley vineyards. Hand-harvested and aged in French oak, the 2009 Cabernet offers a seamless balance of power and finesse, culminating in a long, expressive finish. Ideal for pairing with roasted lamb or a vegetarian cassoulet, this wine is both approachable now and built for long-term aging, with a potential to evolve gracefully over the next 15-20 years. Its timeless quality makes it a Napa Valley classic.
