NAPA VALLEY CABERNET WITH POWER & ELEGANCE
Winegrower Cathy Corison produces artisanal, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon that speaks of place, sourcing great benchland vineyards between Rutherford and St. Helena. We invite you to experience a unique glimpse inside a small, family-owned working winery the next time you are in the Napa Valley.
In The Vineyard
We’re excited to report that harvest 2025 is a wrap! We brought in our last lot of Cabernet Sauvignon in late September, and everything is delicious.
This season was remarkably moderate and mild, with perfect weather at flowering and set, resulting in a generous crop. We are grateful to have had a third consecutive year of good rain, which gave us strong growth in the vineyard. The cool nights contributed to an extra-long ripening period, resulting in snappy acidity, beautiful inky color and wonderful complexity. We look forward to seeing how these wines develop in the cellar!
As always, we are so grateful to our incredible team for another memorable harvest. It was a real family affair! This was Grace’s second year as Assistant Winemaker, and in to help our core team were Cathy’s sister and a couple of Grace’s and Rose’s cousins.
Next Gen at Corison
Cathy and Grace talked with Esther Mobley of the S.F. Chronicle about all things next-gen. “Ten years ago I didn’t know whether they were going to come back,” Corison said of her daughters. She never dared tell them how desperately she hoped they would return.”
“Grace, 27, has joined as assistant winemaker and is training to take over from her mother; Rose, 30, is involved in the winery part time. Recently, the family opened up about the complicated dynamics of wine industry succession planning, which has become an especially hot topic in recent years…”

Library Tasting
Once again, the San Francisco Chronicle named Corison a top winery to visit in the Napa Valley! We’re honored that Esther Mobley notes, “All devotees of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon will eventually find their way to Corison.”

2022 Corison Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
“The 2022 is so pretty with violet and dried rose perfume, right out of the chute. Bright cherries and blueberries join darker cassis and plum flavors for delightful complexity. Provençal herbs, anise and wet-stone mineral notes join in the fun.” ~ Cathy Corison
