Corison Winery, established in 1987 by winemaker Cathy Corison and her husband William Martin, is located in the renowned Napa Valley, specifically at the historic Kronos Vineyard, which they purchased in 1995. This vineyard features some of the oldest Cabernet Sauvignon vines in the region, planted in 1971. Cathy Corison, who has an extensive background in winemaking, has worked at several prestigious Napa wineries before establishing her own. The winery is known for its elegant Cabernet Sauvignon, crafted to be food-friendly with lower alcohol levels, typically between 12.8% and 13.4%. Corison emphasizes organic farming practices and has recently achieved CCOF certification. The winery's design allows for natural ventilation, creating a quiet environment despite its proximity to St. Helena Highway. Visitors can expect a tasting experience that highlights the winery's commitment to quality, with wines that reflect a balance of fruit flavors and acidity. In addition to Cabernet Sauvignon, Corison produces limited quantities of other varietals, including a unique Gewürztraminer and Riesling, showcasing a dedication to both tradition and innovation in winemaking.
