Kronos Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Corison Winery, trade sheet (hentet 17. okt. 2026): 2016 Corison Kronos Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Vintage-note (producentens tekst, engelsk): A textbook season, warm weather in April kick-started the 2016 vintage on the early side, followed by a moderate July and very cool August. Typical of our autumn weather, a late warm spell brought the vintage home. With nary a day over 100F from veraison through harvest, nighttime lows were downright cold all summer, preserving good natural acidity and enabling inky color and singular complexity for the win. The 2016 boasts immensely complex fruit flavors with more of the bright red and blue end of the Cabernet spectrum than in some vintages. Black cherry, blueberry, elderberry and plum join the characteristic blackberry and boysenberry notes for a kaleidoscope of aromas. Floral perfume of violets and lilac chime in, with baking spices, dried herbs, cocoa nibs and wet-stone minerality adding yet more layers of harmony. Like the voices in an accomplished choir, the blend is seamless. As always, the tannins are abundant and feel like velvet and the finish goes on and on. This wine displays remarkable unity.
