Aged for 20 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which were new, this wine is tart and racy, with a red-toned fruit profile complemented by saline-mineral intensity on the nose and palate. Aromas of leather, green olive, and cherrywood add complexity. The palate is immediately enveloped by multidimensional tannins with a pixelated quality, arresting the senses before giving way to sanguine fruit and vibrant minerality. The finish is layered with notes of blood orange, citrus peel, sandalwood, and loamy earth. A testament to the winery, a Napa Valley staple since it opened its doors in 1987, this wine showcases precision and depth in every sip. ~95 Decanter
With signature poise and persistence, Corison 2022 Cabernet captures the opportunities of a challenging vintage showing both her skill as a winemaker and the strength of her vineyards. Lifted, fresh aromatics spin into flavors of dark fruits touched by espresso grounds, dry cocoa, and juicy finish. Tannins are approachable now, and will benefit from a meal, or several years in bottle. ~ 95 Wine Enthusiast
A bold and deep expression, packed with blackberries, blackcurrants, dark chocolate, black olives, dark earth and licorice. The full-bodied, dense and fruit-driven palate carries fine-grained tannins and is balanced with bright acidity, finishing with hints of mocha and wet stones. Try after 2027. ~ 93 James Suckling
Largely picked prior to the Labor Day heat wave, Corison's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the restrained, streamlined style that is a calling card of the winery. Marked by black cherries and loam, with subtle spice shadings from its 20 months in 50% new French oak, this medium-bodied wine maintains superb tension between acidity and alcohol and delivers a lingering, mouthwatering finish framed by soft tannins. ~92 Wine Advocate
Beautiful red and black fruits, spicy herbs, and savory, floral notes all shine in the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon, aged 20 months in 50% new French oak. This complex, medium-bodied, satisfying Cabernet Sauvignon has ripe, integrated tannins and outstanding length. It's ready to go, and I'd happily drink a bottle any time over the coming 10-12 years. Drink 2025-2037. ~ 91 Jeb Dunnuck
The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is polished and understated to the core. Lifted aromatics and silky tannins confer notable finesse. Readers will find a sublime, nuanced Cabernet of distinction. It’s the sort of wine that will blossom with time in bottle. I won't be surprised if it is even better in a few years. This is pure class. ~91 Vinous
Manages to show floral lift in the form of hibiscus and iris notes, while a relatively fresh streak of cassis and bitter plum coulis forms the core. Offers singed alder and savory notes on the tail end, with a slightly taut structure, but overall this does a good job of defying the odds in ’22. Drink now through 2032. ~ 91 Wine Spectator
