2003 Corison Kronos Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2003 growing season began with a vengeance. There were a few early heat spikes in March
followed by the wettest April on record. Luckily, as the season progressed, the weather became increasingly benign. After veraison (the critical time when the vines were busy ripening their crop), there was nary a day over 100°. Deep ruby in color, the 2003 Corison Kronos Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon boasts aromas of wild boysenberries, plums and cassis. Linzer torte and ripe black cherry flavors are complemented by hints of nutmeg, cardamom and vanilla. Soft tannins contribute a round, lush mouth feel and hints of violets charm the lingering finish. -Cathy Corison
