Corison, Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2020

The 2020 Corison Cabernet Sauvignon is a meticulously crafted wine sourced from three benchmark vineyards in Napa Valley's St. Helena AVA: Sunbasket Vineyard, Grech Vineyard, and Hayne Vineyard. These sites feature Bale gravelly loam soils, contributing to the wine's distinctive character.

This process imparts subtle oak nuances and enhances the wine's complexity.In the glass, it displays a deep garnet hue. The nose reveals aromas of black cherries, cranberries, and black pepper. The palate offers a harmonious balance of vibrant acidity and firm tannins, leading to a long, elegant finish.This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs well with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses. Its structure and depth make it suitable for both immediate enjoyment and extended cellaring.
