The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon comes across as quite similar to the 2009 in terms of the depth and character of the fruit, except the 2010 has a touch more minerality and vibrancy. Graphite, sweet spices and tar are some of the nuances that come through on the finish. I can’t wait to see how the 2010 develops over the next two years. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2025. Celia Welch is the winemaker for a number of prestigious estates in Napa Valley. Corra is her own label. The Cabernet Sauvignon is made from vineyards in Rutherford, Oakville and Pritchard Hill.Tel.

The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon is a big, rich, expansive wine. Layers of blue and black fruit, spices and flowers flow gracefully from this textured, inviting Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2009 possesses an inner glow and warmth that is immensely appealing. An elegant, finessed finish rounds things out beautifully. This is a terrific showing from Celia Welch.

The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon offers plum, cassis, camphor and forest floor notes in its dense purple color. Its elegant, medium to full-bodied flavors display ripe tannins, a good center core of sweet fruit, and a velvety, fleshy finish. Drink it over the next 10-15 years. The best wine I have yet tasted from Corra is their 2007 (rated 95 last year), and both of these vintages are not far off the mark of that beauty. Production is around 400 cases from this boutique operation, with the wine (which is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon) coming from three separate locations - Pritchard Hill, Rutherford, and Oakville.Tel. and Fax (707) 963-4523
