Vintage Report: California Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
95 Another classic, displaying a pretty bouquet of black cherry… cocoa nib and dried rose. On the palate the wine is intense, nicely concentrated and texturally refined, with good depth and a lovely line of bright acidity which lends a crunchy edge to the fruit. Drink 2020-2040.

17.5+ Spiced aromatics of mixed fruits across a full range of colour – red, blue and black fruits appear here with a constellation of fresh herbs, all of which carry into the palate. The oak usage here is well done, framing the varietal character rather than dominating, instead bringing the earthy and herbal notes of the variety into highlight over a body of fruits and mineral notes. Ferric tones here act as a patina accent. Impressively long finish… This is a delicious, nicely done Corison, as should be expected from the producer. Drink 2018-2030

Wines to Know: CORISON Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
96 If one stellar cabernet is in your future this holiday season, this would be a brilliant option. It’s a cabernet of magnificence and beauty, precision and radiance—as though every single molecule in the wine was beaming out delicious flavor. Cathy Corison (who’s made wine over more than 40 vintages) has a reputation for exquisitely balanced, complex, long-lived cabernets that exude finesse. You could be forgiven for thinking it was Margaux in a good vintage.
