2014 Corison Cabernet Sauvignon - USA, California, Napa Valley, St. Helena (3/25/2022)
I am really not sure how to fully capture how seamless and delicious this wine is at such an early age. It’s clearly a product of “Sunny St. Helena” and also has a calibrated balance of fruit and structure. Dark plums are merged with warm herbs, as the wine expresses its California fruit married to old world sensibilities. The oak plays a minor supporting role, leaving that benchland fruit to take center stage. Another three to five years will further tame the tannins, but there is no sin in opening a bottle now. Just give it some air (two hours here), and it will sing in the sunshine.

Big Corison fan, though somehow I'm down to one bottle (at least it's a mag)

Well eventually you can drink some of mine. I have a bunch from 2013-2018.
