WTN: Here Comes the Sunbasket

by David M. Bueker » Thu Jan 28, 2021 8:08 pm

2016 Corison Cabernet Sauvignon Sunbasket Vineyard - USA, California, Napa Valley (1/28/2021)
When I open a bottle of Corison Cabernet Sauvignon I expect precision, elegance, and refinement. The Sunbasket Cabernet Sauvignon delivers that in abundance. Some might find it too elegant, but I just love the balance, and the detail in the aromatics. Where it really grabs me is the finish, which is all about sustain. There’s a very long future ahead for this wine, and a long sleep for my other bottles.

Finishing this up tonight, and the aromatics are 100% more intense. Palate presence is also fuller. Decent it or age it.
