NAPA VALLEY CABERNET WITH POWER & ELEGANCE
Winegrower Cathy Corison produces artisanal, age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon that speaks of place, sourcing great benchland vineyards between Rutherford and St. Helena. We invite you to experience a unique glimpse inside a small, family-owned working winery the next time you are in the Napa Valley.
In The Vineyard
September 2026: We brought in our last fruit for Corison’s 40th vintage last week! It was our earliest harvest to date due to budbreak weeks ahead of normal. That was followed by a moderate growing season which allowed long hangtime for flavor development. The crop was tiny and the wines are delicious! Now we’ll spread compost and seed our cover crop before the fall rains.
Sustainability Accolade!
In November of 2025, Corison Winery was presented The Golden Vines Sustainability Award, named in honor of Frédéric Panaïotis, a pioneer in eco-friendly practices in Champagne. Cathy attended the Miami event where this honor was bestowed, and she spoke on two masterclass panels.
Since returning to work at Corison in 2020, Grace has been leading the charge to continually improve our sustainable practices in the winery and vineyard, and it is an honor to get this special shout-out!
The Corison Story
Lisa Perrotti-Brown, MW, of The Wine Palate, came by Corison as we wrapped up harvest 2026. She and Cathy sat down to taste together and talk about Cathy’s story. From history and winemaking style to family and vineyards, they covered it all. Concluding, Lisa sums it up so well, noting that Cathy “simply found a piece of ground that tells a particular story, and she has spent forty years trying to get out of its way.” Check out this lovely article!
