Baking spices, savory herbs, blueberries, plum, lavender... A velvety finish. Enjoyed over conversations at Le Bernardin between courses. — 9 years ago
Lovely brut rosé. Twelfth Night celebration Chez Corison Martin. AND helps preserve agriculture in the Napa Valley. — 9 years ago
Showing signs of oxidization, but underneath fig and bruised-apple aromas, the nose has a rich and secondary nose of dark black raspberries, cedar, tobacco, dried cherries, and a tinge of cumin. In the mouth, it resembles a printed canvas of dark fruit, leather, cedar, tobacco, and savory tamari notes. There’s a nice texture to the midpalate flavors. It is gorgeously balanced, medium bodied, with lively acidity, still some tannic grip - though refined, and a satisfying length.
This is a wine of substance, at an extremely interesting and delicious point in its life, available for an absolutely ridiculous price. Thanks @Alder Yarrow for the recommendation! (The winemaker is Cathy Corison). — 10 years ago
My wife and I have no idea how this came into our cellar, or anything about Long Vineyards really. But man, this is a beautiful Napa Cabernet, very much in the style of @Cathy Corison and White Rock Vineyards. The 22 months in new French has completely integrated after 14 years, and now it is redolent (first time using that word) with cassis, black olive tapenade, dried herbs, and fine, dusty tannins.
When we grill steaks, this is the type of old-school California we really dig. — 9 years ago

Amazing cab franc from Corison! Delicate forest floor and green bell pepper — 10 years ago
Wow. Just wow. Pure, savory, elegant. Clear pencil shavings and cassis and mint with nearly integrated oak that's subtle but certainly there. This is really damned good. Only thing I've had that's close this year from California was a 25yr vertical of Corison. — 9 years ago

Lots of ripe cherry. Very floral and some great acidity. Thanks for reviewing and getting me interested @Cathy Corison I purchased two bottles. Great price! — 10 years ago
Stylistically different than the top wines last night chez Corison. Bigger, courser but delicious with the pork loin. — 12 years ago

If it's good enough for Cathy Corison, it's good enough for me. Nothing earth shattering; everything enjoyable. Flint, acid, oyster shell - pale goodness. — 9 years ago
