Cathy Corison does not try to sledgehammer your palate with dense fruit, oak, sugar, and tannin. Perhaps it's a Napa obsession to make muscle-bound Cabs, but such wines can wear out your palate and become dull quickly. At the opposite end of the spectrum, Cathy is wholeheartedly dedicated to making "complex wines that walk the fine line between power and elegance." Using the best Napa fruit and low-intervention winemaking, Corison has stayed the course for nearly four decades as the standard-bearer of Bordeaux-like elegance. Her wines are so extraordinary that European reviewers like Jancis Robinson have fallen in love with this winery.
