What is there to say about Cathy Corison that hasn't already been said? She's been the most respected and talented winemakers in Napa for decades. Her ideas on farming, vine disease, fruit ripeness and winemaking are all antithetical to the "norm" and yet the its these very ideals that keep her wines in a class unto themselves.

What you may not know is that she is still always learning. We didn't get to meet her until the very end of our tasting because she was out in the vineyard taking lessons from a team of Italian pruning experts. Her daughter Grace is being groomed to take over the family estate and spent over an hour with us, answering a thousand and one questions regarding every aspect of vineyard and cellar work.

Cathy Corison discovered her passion for wine while studying biology in Claremont, CA. She went on to get a masters in enology at UC Davis in the mid-1970s then, after stints at leading estates (like Chappellet), founded her eponymous estate. She produced her first vintage in 1987 and has been making her Cabernet the same way ever since, walking the fine line between elegance and power.


The vineyards are some of Napa's best Cabernet sites, located between Rutherford and St. Helena, with deep stony and alluvial soils that produce a sublimely concentrated and elegant Cabernet Sauvignon. Exercising minimal intervention in the cellar, Cathy explains her winemaking technique as: “a hands-off approach to winemaking; it is my job to let the vineyards speak.”
