2007 Kronos Cabernet 750ml

Harvest & Tasting Notes:

2007 was one of those vintages that makes winemaking look easy. The weather was ideal at flowering, yielding a good-sized crop. Perfect, even ripening weather prevailed all season with nary a heat spike in August and September.

The 2007 is one of my favorite Kronos Cabernets to date. Spicy aromas integrate with dark, brooding black cherry, boysenberry and cassis fruit. I love the prominent mineral note in the aromas and the signature viscosity and velvety tannins make it lush. All this at moderate alcohol!

Connoiseurs' Guide to California Wine, December 2011:
CORISON Kronos Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2007 $98.00
91 points:  Very much adhering to the Corison style of mannerly and well-focused wines of precision, the 2007 Kronos trades muscle for grace but sacrifices little in the way richness or depth. It is not wildly tannic but is nonetheless structured for keeping, and, if always accessible and fairly light on its feet, it will continue to grow and find a little more nuance and more polish yet as the years come and go.
