1st vintage from the Kronos vineyard. What a treat!

Decant for sediment(lots of sediment). A splendid medium ruby red color with bricking. On the nose: dried red fruit, smoked meat, worn leather, coffee grounds, dried herbs, truffles. Taste: silky, and so fresh for its age with sour cherry, loamy soil, black tea, graphite, herbs, and a nice pepper-earth medium plus finish. YUM!!!! Sure on the downside, but still perfectly drinkable. — 19 hours ago

This is what every Cabernet Sauvignon should taste like. Despite being from Italy instead of California, this Cabernet has the richness of a Corison or other top Cabernet Sauvignon, but for less money. Deep intense stewed fruit to start with plum and blackberry, rich earthiness, chocolate and tobacco, then perfect tannins to finish. And aged just the right amount now to smooth out the tannins. Buy some if you can find it. At $67.50, this Cabernet Sauvignon was an extraordinary value. — 2 years ago

1hr+ decant. Wine really changed through the course of the night. Went from floral to port to tannic. Started out nice then evolved to complex then to strange and then went downhill. I’d drink soon and be careful of decanting too long. I was at 94 and then dropped to 91, so 92.5 and rounding up :) — 4 years ago

Hello from bitter cold MN. Woke up this morning to -23 degree temps and it was garbage day…. 🥶
Continuing my month of drinking 2016 wines. Almost opened Pape Clement tonight. Thoughts on if that’s too soon anyone? Smash or pass?
This is drinking very well. Has that Corison thing with great tension of fruit and acidity. Mouthwatering.
Cheers all. 🍷 stay warm and safe this weekend. — a month ago

For those of you that like really nice Franc that is balanced, smooth and has finesse, this is for you! I absolutely loved this. The nose alone (florals and fruit) will captivate. Enjoyed over 3 days. — 5 years ago

The kind of wine you never won’t to end… just sensational. What a beautiful expression of Napa and the wine was drinking beautifully with 15 years of age. — 2 months ago

This is the 2018 Acappella Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from the Corison Winery in St. Helena, California.

On the nose there is black cherry, blackberry, plum, black currant, spice, black pepper, pencil shavings and earth.

On the palate there is black cherry, blackberry, black currant, licorice, vanilla, chocolate, spice, mint, black pepper, cedar and earth.

This is a full bodied wine with a smooth supple mouthfeel medium + acidity and a medium + fine mouthcoating tannins and leaves you with a long dark fruit crushed stone finish. The weekend looks to be very nice and wish you all good health. Please stay safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 4 years ago

Currants, raspberries. Leather and smoke. Brilliant balance between ripe fruit and acid as usual for corison. — 5 years ago
