CORRA WINES 2019 CABERNET SAUVIGNON 23 MAR 2022

 

Today is a glorious day as our once-a-year allocation of Corra wine (Figure 1) has arrived from Napa Valley.  Our subscription to Corra dates back over ten years when we were introduced to Celia Welch at a food and wine pairing event at the Blue-Ribbon Brasserie.  We were invited to the event through Lindstrom wine, where Celia is the consulting winemaker.  In addition to the Cabernet Sauvignon that arrived today, Celia occasionally produces a blended white wine called Tail Feathers, one of Jo’s favorites.   Celia has had a long and vibrant career in Napa Valley as a winemaker of her Corra label and a consulting winemaker to some of the most prestigious labels in the valley, Scarecrow, and many more.  A short bio from her Corra website is attached in figure 2, but it does not do justice to all her accomplishments as a consistent 90+ point winemaker. 

Shifting to today’s wine, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon has already won critical acclaim, rated at 97 points by Wine Advocate (Figure 3).  One of the most exciting attributes of this wine is its excellent nose, rich in complex notes, drawing one back to the glass time and again.  The full description of the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon from the website is attached in figure 4.  Given that having several prior vintages still in stock, 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon can rest a few more years before we explore it in detail.  However, this wine has consistently been a favorite of our family and our friends, and we can expect many more years of enjoyment from this wine.
