Horizontal
2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Horizontal
Explore the 2019 vintage with a bottle each of the Sunbasket, Kronos and Napa Valley Cabernets.
2019 was a stellar growing season. Summer and fall were so cool that we picked fully two weeks later than we usually do, the perfect setup for a great vintage. Those cold days allowed long hang time, resulting in complex, intense flavors, and the cold nights promoted inky color and balancing natural acidity.
Special Club Releases!
2020 Selene Cabernet Sauvignon
We only let Kronos and Sunbasket Vineyards play together to craft this tiny bottling. Just 20 cases are available for our club members, with a 2 bottle/member limit.
Sun & Moon Duet
In Greek mythology, Selene is goddess of the moon and sister to Helios, god of the sun, so it seems fitting to offer this two-pack of the 2020 Selene Cabernet Sauvignon and the 2020 Helios Cabernet Franc.
Limited to 2 duets/member.

Unique Limited Lots
Occasionally, Cathy gets the opportunity to make wine from small lots of grapes with interesting stories.
2017 Helios Sunbasket Vineyard Syrah
Try this single vintage of Syrah from a small part of our Sunbasket Vineyard, before we
re-planted it to Cabernet Sauvignon
2018 Acappella
Cabernet Sauvignon
Crafted from a one-time purchase of grapes from a vineyard contiguous to our Sunbasket Vineyard.
Half-Bottles
2020 Corison Napa Valley
Cabernet Sauvignon
Great stocking stuffers! Our half-bottles are so handy when you just want a couple glasses of wine, or to complement other selections.
This wine is wildly complex with tart cherry, blueberry, red and black currants, raspberry, plum and boysenberry fruit, fleshed out with notes of baking spices and peppermint. The tannins are characteristically polite yet grippy. Mineral notes add lift and the evolving violet perfume is so pretty.
Glassware
When Cathy heard that Jancis Robinson designed a wine glass, she jumped at the chance to try it! She found that The Jancis Wine Glass magnifies and highlights fruit and promotes elegance. While she loved the glass across the board, aged Cabernets sang especially tunefully with layers of floral perfume and complexity. The Jancis Wine Glass is gorgeous and a delight in hand. Shipping included!*

*Shipping included within the contiguous U.S., through 31 December, 2023. Expedited shipping is not available. Order by 11 December to receive before Christmas.
Tasting and Club Gift Certificates
Corison Library Tasting
This flight showcases our current releases and highlights a selection from our library. Walk out into our estate Kronos Vineyard for seasonal updates, and observe a small winery in action.
Curated Private Tasting
Taste some gems from our library! Perhaps you’d like to explore terroir with a horizontal, or try a vertical to see the expression of different growing seasons. Our wine educators will work with you to create your own custom flight of 4-5 wines.
Discovery Collector Membership
Introduce your friends and family to Corison! They will receive two shipments of wine, and access club member benefits, including complimentary tastings.
Curated Gifts
The Durand™
We love our Corison-engraved Durand™ wine opener! It’s indispensable for opening older bottles. In two stages, it gently removes fragile corks.
Coravin™ Pivot
Here at Corison Winery, we find that the Coravin™ keeps wine in great condition for up to two weeks. Open your bottle, replace the cork with a special stopper, and use the Pivot to pour your wine. The remaining wine will be preserved under inert Argon gas until you are ready for your next glass.
(Order by 11 December
to receive before Christmas.)
Wine Books
The Wine Bible – 3rd Edition
Wine writer and educator Karen MacNeil is a fixture here in Saint Helena, as well as a national treasure. We think you will love her opus, a lively tour from an expert teacher. One of the most important wine guides in the world, it was first published in 2000, and this third edition shines.
Women Winemakers – Personal Odysseys
Lucia and John Gilbert, professors and lovers of wine, engaged in conversations with dozens of women winemakers (including Cathy Corison) from throughout California and wine regions of France, Italy, New Zealand, Portugal, and Spain.
