The 2016 Sunbasket Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is an absolutely magnificent showing from Cathy Corison. Displaying striking purity and sheer class, this stunning Cabernet instantly begins to impress with its mesmerizing aromatics lead by nuances of fresh red currants and ripe plums which are woven together with graphite, herbs, spring florals, dusty minerals, spices and hints of dried cherry tobacco all developing in the glass. This medium-bodied red is beautifully structured with fine, velvety tannins, that glide gracefully across the palate. It further impresses, as it demonstrates incredible overall elegance, precision and finesse, as well as wonderful concentration and depth, before finishing with a gorgeous seamless finish. Cathy Corison has crafted yet another beautiful wine from this vineyard, and even at this early stage it is nothing short of utterly spectacular.
