The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon from Cathy Corison is another absolutely classic wine and yet another legend in the making. The wine is just a whisper higher in octane than the Sunbasket cabernet, tipping the scales at 13.8 percent alcohol and offering up all of the precision, purity and structural sophistication that one has come to routinely expect of young vintages of Corison cabernet sauvignon. The lovely bouquet wafts from the glass in a polished blend of black cherries, sweet dark berries, tobacco leaf, Rutherford Dust, cigar smoke and a deft framing of spicy new oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and seamlessly balanced, with a beautifully refined attack, a rock solid core of fruit, exemplary soil signature, ripe, buried tannins and great focus and grip on the long, complex and perfectly balanced finish. This is a stunning young wine!
