Over four decades, the pair has \u003cstrong\u003ecrafted powerful and elegant Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/strong\u003e from one of the region’s oldest vineyards, and their cuvees continue to evolve with each vintage. As one of the most price-friendly, premier Napa wineries, Corison wine is the perfect bottle for drinkers to add to their cellar and taste with family and friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCorison Winery: St. Helena Beginnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter graduating from Pomona College with a biology degree, Cathy Corison was determined to break into the wine industry. The talented winemaker quickly received her MBA from UC Davis and began working at \u003cstrong\u003eChappellet Winery \u003c\/strong\u003ethroughout the 1980s. Her stellar tenure opened new doors at \u003cstrong\u003eStaglin Family Vineyards, Long Meadow Ranch\u003c\/strong\u003e, and numerous other Napa estates, before Corison decided to open her winery. In 1987, Cathy Corison and her husband, William Martin, formally established Corison Winery and began purchasing fruit from top Napa Valley vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout Corison’s first 8 years, the pair crafted its blends with purchased fruit until William Martin stumbled upon a 10-acre parcel in St. Helena. The land was up for sale for almost a decade as the County of Napa denied the previous owner a use permit. Consequently, Martin and Corison inspected the bare land and were gleefully surprised to discover the \u003cstrong\u003eSt. George rootstock planted on Bale gravelly loam.\u003c\/strong\u003e In a swift move, the couple purchased the land, naming it \u003cstrong\u003eKronos Vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e after the Greek mythological god, Kronos. As the son of heaven and earth, Cathy Corison thought the fable fittingly describes Corison wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorison Kronos \u003c\/strong\u003ebecame the estate’s second label— an elegant and long-lasting Cabernet that was a fitting complement to the flagship wine. And, two decades later, Corison acquired its \u003cstrong\u003esecond vineyard, Sunbasket Vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e. After farming the land alongside \u003cstrong\u003eShafer \u003c\/strong\u003efor nearly 15 years, the couple was eager to acquire the \u003cstrong\u003eAndre Tchellistcheff\u003c\/strong\u003e-planted plot and create a new, single-vineyard label. Today, Corison Winery produces 8 labels and is led by Corison and Martin’s daughters, Rose and Grace.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCorison Cabernet Sauvignon: Classic Napa Cab\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorison's flagship Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/strong\u003e remains a staple amongst Napa Valley's offering, celebrated for its \u003cstrong\u003eexceptional aging ability, fruit-forward notes, and elegant structure\u003c\/strong\u003e.
