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

We are excited to announce that the winery and our estate vineyards, Sunbasket and Kronos, are Napa Green certified! Sustainable practices have been core to our grapegrowing and winemaking for decades, but being Napa Green means we now have even more resources. From regenerative farming to employee education and support, we love how this program pushes us to be even better.

Last year, Napa Green helped us source a grant to start a grazing program. Running sheep in the vineyards lessens our carbon footprint by replacing tractor use. This allows us to “mow” the cover crop early in the season, which also minimizes the risk of frost damage at budbreak. Grazing also aerates and nourishes the land, resulting in increased fertility and water absorption. The soil is wildly alive!

Next Gen at Corison

Cathy and Grace talked with Esther Mobley of the S.F. Chronicle about all things next-gen. “Ten years ago I didn’t know whether they were going to come back,” Corison said of her daughters. She never dared tell them how desperately she hoped they would return.”

“Grace, 27, has joined as assistant winemaker and is training to take over from her mother; Rose, 30, is involved in the winery part time. Recently, the family opened up about the complicated dynamics of wine industry succession planning, which has become an especially hot topic in recent years…”
