Corison 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon 1.5L – Sunbasket Vineyard [D96][V95][JG95] Rated

2014 Corison Cabernet Sauvignon | St. Helena Estate

Experience the pinnacle of Napa Valley craftsmanship with Corison Winery’s 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon from St. Helena’s iconic Sunbasket Vineyard. Pioneered by Cathy Corison—Napa’s first female winemaker to own her estate—this wine embodies elegance and precision, crafted from grapes grown in a vineyard once hailed by legendary winemaker André Tchelistcheff as a “sunbasket” of natural bounty.

A Masterpiece of Balance
This 2014 vintage captivates with its refined character, offering lush notes of fresh-chilled cherries, exotic spices, and dark red fruitiness, complemented by hints of mint and licorice. Structured yet supple, it balances power with grace, showcasing Cathy Corison’s signature early-harvest approach that preserves vibrant acidity and freshness. Decanter awarded it 96 points for its “exquisite purity” and “longevity,” while Vinous praised its “explosive energy” and “perfect equilibrium.”

A Legacy of Excellence
Planted on Rutherford soils and nurtured with meticulous care, this Cabernet Sauvignon reflects St. Helena’s terroir through layers of black cherry, Cuban cigar wrapper nuances, and dusty earth tones. John Gilman of《The Wine Review》acclaimed it a “stunning new addition” to Corison’s portfolio, noting its “fine-grained tannins” and “nascent complexity.” At 13.5% alcohol, it offers approachability without sacrificing depth—ideal for collectors seeking sophistication or pairing with hearty dishes like dry-aged steaks or rich game meats.

Why Choose Corison?
Unlike more overtly powerful Napa Cabs, this wine distinguishes itself through understated refinement and age-worthy poise. Whether enjoyed now or cellared for years to come, it represents a benchmark for St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon—celebrating tradition while redefining modern elegance.
