Cathy Corison founded her eponymous winery in 1987, focusing on elegant, ageworthy Napa Valley Cabernet. The Helios bottling showcases Cabernet Franc from select vineyards, here in the 2001 vintage and magnum format. Grapes were hand-harvested, fermented in small stainless steel tanks, and aged in French oak to highlight the variety’s aromatic lift and structure.

This rare large-format bottle captures Corison’s restrained, classical approach, offering a refined expression of Napa Cabernet Franc with the added longevity of magnum aging.

Cathy Corison discovered her passion for wine while studying biology in Claremont, CA. She went on to get a masters in enology at UC Davis in the mid-1970s then, after stints at leading estates (like Chappellet), founded her eponymous estate. She produced her first vintage in 1987 and has been making her Cabernet the same way ever since, walking the fine line between elegance and power.

The vineyards are some of Napa's best Cabernet sites, located between Rutherford and St. Helena, with deep stony and alluvial soils that produce a sublimely concentrated and elegant Cabernet Sauvignon. Exercising minimal intervention in the cellar, Cathy explains her winemaking technique as: “a hands-off approach to winemaking; it is my job to let the vineyards speak.”

Wine Enthusiast

WE 91
"Napa veteran Cathy Corison has crafted a blended wine of beauty and power. Compared to her Kronos bottling, this Cab is for immediate consumption, although it should hold well for some years. It's lush and gentle in tannins, with upfront flavors of blackberries, cocoa and green olives, and possesses great balance and charm."
