Corison Napa Valley Sunbasket Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
- In stock, ready to ship
This is a top Cabernet Sauvignon from one of the most influential women in wine, Cathy Corison, using only the fruit from a single vineyard in St. Helena. This is one of the last old Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards in the Napa Valley. Its scraggly clusters of tiny berries yield extremely limited quantities of dark, concentrated and aromatic single-vineyard wine that speaks eloquently of place. This is simply superb.
94/100 - The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Sunbasket Vineyard is classic Corison in style, offering up restrained black cherries and hints of pencil shavings with gentle herbal nuances. The Sunbasket is still just medium-bodied, but it seems a bit fuller than the regular bottling, showing more richness and tannins, at least, with a long, mouthwatering yet velvety finish. - Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate
93+/100 - The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Sunbasket Vineyard is the most complete of the three Cabernets in the range. Suave and plush, the Sunbasket has more than enough fruit to balance the tannins in this vintage. Dark red cherry, red plum, coffee, herbs and dried rose petals all meld together effortlessly. The 2020 is exuberant and quite flashy, with all the elements very nicely balanced. This is a gorgeous wine, with a ton of potential. The purity of the fruit here is just striking. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
17.5/20 - Shaded crimson. Intense, captivating nose – like magic sweet ink! Beautiful poise so that you could enjoy this almost fleshy wine already but the charge of ripe tannins will see it through for many a year. Lovely wine! - Jancis Robinson MW
96/100 - Shaded crimson. Intense, captivating nose – like magic sweet ink! Beautiful poise so that you could enjoy this almost fleshy wine already but the charge of ripe tannins will see it through for many a year. Lovely wine! - Jonathan Cristaldi, Decanter
93/100 - A deep nose with some gravel to the black cherries, cassis, cocoa beans, cedar and Spanish chocolate. Full-bodied and flavorful, with dense but nicely polished tannins. Tart black cherries in the middle, followed by a long, bright finish with a nice saline tang. Try from 2024. - James Suckling
On the palate, supple, velvety tannins, stony minerality, and hints of baking spices and anise round out juicy, dark berry fruit flavors. A stony minerality adds superb balance.
