2013 Corison Napa Cabernet

Been holding on to a case of these since I last visited Corison in 2017 (many other visits to Napa but I wasn’t too impressed with the tasting). Corison’s cabs, at least for Napa, are old school. Much more subtle and not a fruit/alcohol bomb as is the MO now. 2013 was an exceptional year for the entire region.

Decanted for an hour. Nose is hints of blackberries, raspberries and cherry. Very well balanced on the palate. Finish lingers and is velvety. Tasting notes are tart cherries, jam and black currant.

Tasty and worth the wait. 93 pts.
