Description
The best the Rutherford Bench has to offer.
Just once a year, all of my Cabernet lots are
on the table for blending. For the Premiere
Reserve, I include the great lots that are the
components for my Corison Cabernet as
well as the Kronos Vineyard, my estate
vineyard. Bottled as a single-vineyard
estate wine, the Kronos is usually off-limits.
Powerful and elegant, this wine speaks of
place—the benchland between Rutherford
and St. Helena in the Napa Valley.

Cathy Corison
Winemaker, Corison Winery
I've made wine in the Napa Valley for 40 years, first for others including Chappellet Vineyard, Staglin Family Vineyard, York Creek and Long Meadow Ranch. Eventually I found that there was a wine inside me that needed to get out and I began to make the Corison Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
Country born: United States
Education: BA Pomona College, Biology

Years in the wine industry: 30+ years
Honors / Awards:
San Francisco Chronicle Winemaker of the Year 2011
Winemaking Philosophy:
Great grapes make great wine. Pick ripe grapes from a terrific, balanced vineyard and let Mother Nature do the rest. My goal is to make Cabernet that is both powerful and elegant, graces the table, enjoys a long, distinguished life and speaks of place.
