2018 Corison Cabernet Sauvignon Sydafrika Whole cluster fermentation to limit2018 is the darkest, inkiest vintage in my memory, the result of an extremely long, cool ripening season with cold nights. Happily, natural acidity persists during ripening under these conditions and wildly complex flavors and aromas result. Because the weather was perfect at flowering, we had a bumper crop of deliciousness, making everyone happy. Violet and dried rose perfume jumps out of the glass along with tart cherry, blueberry, plum and cassis
