Corison Wines, founded by winemaker Cathy Corison in the heart of Napa Valley, is a benchmark for refined and place-driven Cabernet Sauvignon. Cathy, one of the first female winemakers in the region, earned her degree from UC Davis and built her reputation on crafting wines that favor structure, elegance, and authenticity over sheer power. Her approach stands out in a region often known for bold styles.
The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley is a beautiful expression of this philosophy. With layered aromas of black currant, cedar, violets, and dark fruit, it delivers depth and vibrancy without excess. Critics such as James Suckling and Wine Advocate praised the 2020 vintage for its finesse and purity, with scores in the low to mid 90s. The 2020 Kronos Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon takes things even further. Sourced from a rare, old-vine parcel planted in 1971, this wine offers concentrated fruit, lifted acidity, and firm structure — making it one of Napa’s most age-worthy and collectible wines.
Today, the winery is also shaped by the next generation. Cathy’s daughter Grace Corison is now part of the team, helping continue the family’s legacy with fresh energy and vision. Together, they remain committed to organic farming, minimal intervention, and a clear sense of place in every bottle.
