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

On 6 September we picked our first Cabernet Sauvignon of the season from the young block of Sunbasket Vineyard. This vineyard is now in its sixth leaf, and really starting to shine — we’re close to getting a full crop this year!

We usually start harvest in early September, and this year is right on track. We’re bringing in a beautiful, large crop, with smaller berries due to spring heat. The weather has been ideal since veraison, which is key to the quality of the vintage. The cooler ripening season has given the juice beautiful acidity, which bodes well for the balance of the wines to come. The grapes are just delicious!

The vineyard is a hive of activity, as Cathy’s family and our dedicated team help her transform these beautiful grapes into the wines she loves to share.

If you’re nearby, come join us! This is a great season to get a front-row seat for all the harvest action. We’ll be picking more Cabernet over the next week, and the winery will be abuzz into October. It’s Cathy’s favorite time of year!

Drink A Bottle

SommTV does a fantastic job talking about the world of wine, and we wanted to share with you their latest Corison episode, Drink a Bottle with Cathy Corison and Grace Martin.  Opening Grace’s birthyear wine, they discuss what it means to nurture and preserve a family-owned winery. There are three earlier Corison episodes as well, so don’t miss them!
