Been holding on to a case of these since I last visited Corison in 2017 (many other visits to Napa but I wasn’t too impressed with the tasting). Corison’s cabs, at least for Napa, are old school. Much more subtle and not a fruit/alcohol bomb as is the MO now. 2013 was an exceptional year for the entire region.
Decanted for an hour. Nose is hints of blackberries, raspberries and cherry. Very well balanced on the palate. Finish lingers and is velvety. Tasting notes are tart cherries, jam and black currant.
Tasty and worth the wait. 93 pts.

One of my favorite American producers by a huge margin.
This vintage was soft and tasted older than it was for me. Their newer vintages though have a lot more intensity. You should check them out.
Hey good to know. I’ve got a 2012 Kronos sitting in my cellar.
It is a great wine. I have a 2004 in my fridge. We bought a parir of them in Feb 2024 and drank one for Valentines Day. Very tasty.
Great wine. Got to meet Cathy Corison in person in one of their wine gig in Saint Helena. The Kronos is really good, I still have a 2012 in my storage.
