Expert Reviews

88 Points | Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine

Good bright, full ruby.  Spicy dark plum, redcurrant and cherry aromas complicated by menthol, lavender and leather.  In a very closed stage today, with moderately sweet bitter cherry and dark chocolate flavors currently muted by an impression of slightly tart acidity.  The finish is reasonably long but distinctly medicinal today, with an obvious herbal element.  Will this expand with time in bottle? Corison normally picks her cabernet during the second or third week of September, but in 2006 the harvest was nearly a month later.
