When this wine was still in barrel, Cathy Corison told me she felt her 2011 was one the best wines she has ever made, and after tasting the wine in bottle, it would be hard to argue with that statement. This is an absolutely pure example of Napa Valley Cabernet, made the way it was meant to be, classy and elegant with amazing balance and structure. The seductive aromas and flavors of ripe cassis, exotic spices, dried savory herbs, minerals and fresh floral come together beautifully and resonate all the way through the gorgeous finish. This is a brilliant effort from Cathy Corison that is already showing wonderful right now and will certainly continue to evolve. (Best 2015-2027) - November, 2014 (JD)
