I've long been a fan of Cathy Corison's Cabernet Sauvignons, and have failed to hold onto my bottles long enough to drink one that is mature. For my taste, I did it with this bottle.
The nose was striking at first with unfamiliar aromas. There was fig, tree bark, tea leaves, and dark cherries, and when you think you have them all, there are florals. On the palate, the tannins are soft, the dark fruit is fresh, it's earthy, tarry, more of those lovely florals. Blind, I would have said Barolo (I hate blind, it always makes me feel stupid), but it's a feminine and elegant California Cab, and an excellent dinner wine enjoyed with filet mignon, mustardy green beans, and salad caprese.
