Corison Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2002

Deep red.

Damp earth, A1 steak sauce/grilled meat, and a confectionary suggestion of dried fig/date.

Round, suave, middle-weight impression. Acidity is fairly strong, but not crazy. Mid-palate flesh fends off solid structural spine running start to finish. Very nicely balanced, harmonious, satisfying wine.

Day 4 - This smells more like a Spanish Monastrell. But deep and rich nonetheless. Really round and packed, with a bit of a confectionary feel. Again - I'd never guess Cabernet here - but who cares. Packed, deep and long. And only 13.6% alcohol.
