2020 Corison Cabernet Sauvignon Sunbasket Vineyard

The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Sunbasket Vineyard is rock solid, with impressive cassis and black raspberry fruits as well as some floral, graphite, and spicy nuances. It s medium-bodied, fresh, focused, has fine tannins, and a beautiful sense of elegance. All Cabernet Sauvignon aged 20 months in 50% new French oak, it s going to evolve for 15+ years, and should be even better with short-term cellaring.

Full bottle 1,437 g. Estate grown. Barrel selection. 20 months in French oak, 50% new. 350 cases produced. Shaded crimson. Intense, captivating nose – like magic sweet ink! Beautiful poise so that you could enjoy this almost fleshy wine already but the charge of ripe tannins will see it through for many a year. Lovely wine! (JR)

The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Sunbasket Vineyard is the most complete of the three Cabernets in the range. Suave and plush, the Sunbasket has more than enough fruit to balance the tannins in this vintage. Dark red cherry, red plum, coffee, herbs and dried rose petals all meld together effortlessly. The 2020 is exuberant and quite flashy, with all the elements very nicely balanced. This is a gorgeous wine, with a ton of potential. The purity of the fruit here is just striking.
