KRONOS VINEYARD CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2016
CORISON
This is a top Cabernet Sauvignon from one of the most influential women in wine. Using only the fruit from a single vineyard, this is simply superb.
- Spicy, dark fruit with slight savoury flavours; complex and intense with racy acidity and fine tannins.
- Kronos vineyard was planted in 1972 on gravelly, loamy soils.
- Wines are aged in 50% new French oak for 2 years.
- Perfect when matched with a sirloin steak.
- This could keep up to 20 years after the vintage.

“Intense and round. Slightly inky. Very intense and fine with a future. Dramatic, complex.”
“30-year-old vines on St George rootstock. Mid purplish crimson. Complex, non-flashy nose with aromatic herbs and real savour and attack. Nothing pushy here. Super appetising. Much more convincing natural acidity than most. ”
“Rich and vibrant with blueberry and black cherry fruits, a real electricity running through this wine, from single vineyard, old vine Cabernet which is naturally low yielding and concentrated. Opens up beautifully in the glass. One to savour.”
“The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Kronos is one of the most striking, hauntingly beautiful wine I have ever tasted from Cathy Corison...This is a super-classic Cabernet Sauvignon endowed with spectacular depth and intensity yet buffered by a firm sense of structure. Violets, orange peel, white pepper and a host of exotic notes linger on the close. What a gorgeous wine this is.”
