Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Corison Winery, trade sheet (hentet 17. okt. 2026): 2008 Corison Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Vintage-note (producentens tekst, engelsk): 2008 saw a second year of drought and a heat spike during flowering which kept the crop very small. Early budbreak got the ball rolling in the spring but an unusually cool summer followed giving us the long, even ripening we hope for. The wines are classic. Juicy and forward, the 2008 reminds me of the 2004. It has evolved quickly in the bottle with fruit flavors favoring the plum, cassis and blackberry end of the spectrum. Notes of cocoa and spice add richness. The feel in the mouth is silky and supple.
