It's no secret that to get a Napa Cabernet noticed by the critics and the public alike, many winemakers feel the need to make wines that boom and shout on the palate. But as wine writer Jancis Robinson once said, "Cathy Corison has barely to whisper."
Cathy has a philosophy on Cabernet that many may claim to ascribe to but few actually practice in California today. She makes wines the old-fashioned way, some would argue the French way: to be less ripe, less alcoholic, and most importantly, ageworthy. The wines are subtle, complex, never "big" or "flashy" or over-concentrated. And thus, they often won't catch a reviewer's eye in a blind tasting, where the ripest and boldest wine often wins. But those are often not wines that you want to drink ten years later….this is.
Cathy spent almost thirty years making wine for others, including Chappellet (where she mentored Mia Klein), Staglin, and Long Meadow Ranch, before she made the first vintage of her own Corison Cabernet in 1987. "There was a wine inside me that needed to be made," she says. And the rest is history.
Recognized and well-respected across the industry as a maker of age-worthy Cabernets, Cathy will never be seen donning the front cover of a glossy mag as a "rockstar winemaker." Instead she prefers to do things rather quietly, with wines that "define style and grace." (Wine Enthusiast). And that's just how we like her.
