In a region where Cabernet Sauvignon regularly tips past 15% alcohol and extraction, Cathy Corison has spent decades making the opposite case — restraint, balance, and structure built to age. Her 2021 Napa Valley Cabernet pulls from certified organic benchland vineyards in St. Helena — Sunbasket, Grech, and Hayne — where Bale gravelly loam alluvial soils with excellent drainage have grown Cabernet since the late 19th century. Native yeast fermentation in closed-top stainless steel precedes 20 months in 50% new French oak, producing classic cassis, cedar, tobacco leaf, and graphite with firm but integrated tannins and a long, precise finish.
