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

April 2026: We’re welcoming our 40th vintage this year at Corison! Record high temperatures in mid-March had our grapevines off and running, starting the 2026 season several weeks earlier than average. We scrambled to keep up with them, making several passes to shoot-thin vigorous growth, leaving only the positions we want to keep the vines in balance. April brought moderate temperatures and plentiful rain. With flowering imminent, we’re keeping our fingers crossed for continued mild weather for a good set. Watch Cathy as she walks us through what’s going on in the vineyards.

Sustainability Accolade!

In November, Corison Winery was presented The Golden Vines Sustainability Award, named in honor of Frédéric Panaïotis, a pioneer in eco-friendly practices in Champagne. Cathy attended the Miami event where this honor was bestowed, and she spoke on two masterclass panels.

Since returning to work at Corison in 2020, Grace has been leading the charge to continually improve our sustainable practices in the winery and vineyard, and it is an honor to get this special shout-out! 

When Less Became More

When Sommelier and Restauranteur Kelsey Glasser asked Cathy and Grace to be a part of a TV feature about women in wine, they jumped at the chance. Here’s a sneak peek of the work in progress!
