Kronos Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Corison Winery, trade sheet (hentet 17. okt. 2026): 2018 Corison Kronos Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Vintage-note (producentens tekst, engelsk): A nearly perfect vintage, 2018 enjoyed ideal weather at flowering which promoted a bumper crop. Nary a day over 100F during the ripening season resulted in long hang time with harvest two weeks later than normal, yielding inky color, complex flavors and snappy natural acidity. One of my favorite vintages ever, layered fruit sings a medley of cassis, plums, black cherries, raspberry jam, kirsch and blueberries, with hints of baking spices evoking blackberry cobbler. Classic Kronos floral perfume is already in evidence with dried rose petals, violets and lavender in the mix. Mocha, toasted hazelnuts and dried herbs including rosemary, herbes de Provence and peppermint add grace notes, and signature wet slate and Rutherford dust and polished but grippy tannins complete the package.
