Staff Notes:
"The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Kronos Vineyard is very clearly one of the wines of the vintage. One of the things I love about the 2019 is the way it conveys power and density, but without weight. In that sense, it is perhaps atypical for Napa Valley Cabernets in this vintage. Even so, I find the sense of beauty here absolutely beguiling. The 2019 Kronos is an absolutely stunning wine. I could describe the aromas and flavors, but that seems pretty banal for a wine that is so clearly towering in its splendor. Don't miss it. Cathy Corison’s 2019s are superb. It’s hard to imagine that a producer with such a long and distinguished track record could still find an extra gear, but Corison has. 2019 was the first year in which farming was entirely brought in-house, and that seems to have made a difference. The devil is in the details, as they say. Corison describes 2019 as warmer than 2018, especially in the critical months of August and September, with lower yields overall." 98 Antonio Galloni, Vinous
