Robert Parker (94)

Corison's 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Sunbasket Vineyard is marked by scents of pencil shavings and cassis on the nose. Just a bit bigger and richer than the Kronos while still refreshingly moderate in alcohol (13.7%), this is more velvet than silk, with a deeper pile to the plush feel on the palate, but perhaps there's a bit less perfume and complexity. It's still a terrific Cab, elegant and finesse-filled, rather than overpowering.

James Suckling (93)

Very juicy and brambly in feel, with a bright and well-defined mix of boysenberry and plum fruit flavors along with notes of applewood and licorice. Open-knit through the finish but without sacrificing depth and length. A distinctive Cabernet that relies on inner brightness rather than outward power.

Jancis Robinson: Lustrous but not that dense crimson. Really very complex and saline. Sage-brush springs to mind as a descriptor though I'm really none too sure what it is! Dried vegetation anyway rather than anything sweet. So very refreshing and savoury! The opposite of a fruit bomb. Such care seems to have been lavished on this trend-bucking wine that leaves the palate cleansed. Yes please!

Youthfully wound in its own elegance and structure, this vineyard-designate is ebullient and graceful, with well- defined layers of turned earth, black currant, cedar and baking spice. It holds its oak well, containing the tannins within a sturdy, elongated structure that should hold up well in the cellar. Enjoy best through 2038. Virginie Boone
