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.
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.
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!
When Less Became More
When Sommelier and Restauranteur Kelsey Glasser asked Cathy and Grace to be a part of a TV feature about women in wine, they jumped at the chance. Here’s a sneak peek of the work in progress!
