"Cathy Corison's 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Sunbasket Vineyard is just fabulous. Dense, powerful and beautifully layered in the glass, this sumptuous Cabernet fills a very nice middle spot in the Corison range, as it is quite succulent and yet also far more approachable than the Kronos. Soft, curvy contours add to a sense of immediacy and sheer allure. Open-knit and expressive, with all of the radiance that gives this site its name, the 2016 Sunbasket is outrageously delicious, even in the early going." 

James Suckling, 95 Points 

"A ripe and rich wine with some bitter chocolate, as well as a ton of wild blackberries in the nose. This is a really concentrated, yet rather sleek cabernet that has very fine, powdery tannins that are so beautifully integrated that it’s already really seductive. Very long, fresh and subtle finish. And there’s just 13.4 per cent alcohol! Drink or hold."

"The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Sunbasket Vineyard is similarly colored yet is a different beast, with more purity, freshness, and precision. Blackcurrants, blueberries, sappy green herbs, and underbrush notes all emerge from this unquestionably old-school, medium-bodied, elegant, impeccably made Napa Cabernet Sauvignon that will keep for 2-3 decades."
