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.
It’s hard to believe the sheep are already here, eating down the covercrop and nurturing our vines with their nitrogen-rich droppings. Grazing also helps with frost protection by allowing cold air to flow out of the vineyard. With spring right around the corner, all hands are on deck out in the fields. We’re finished pruning and are expecting bud break within days. We’ll keep circling back throughout the season to keep grapevine growth in balance. This winter brought ample rainfall, though we are hoping for a few more inches before the end of our seasonal storms. Watching the fronts pass over the valley is mesmerising!
Sustainability Accolade!
In November, 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!
