Corliss Cabernet Sauvignon (2016)

The Cabernet Sauvignon Michael Corliss grows in the very best slices of Red Mountain are now so very good, full and complete that there’s no need to add anything else. So in 2016, this is nearly 100% Cabernet Sauvignon (just a few drops of Petit Verdot and Cab Franc) aged around 30 months in 70/30% new and second use French oak. While it’s every bit as rich and deeply ripe as the Red Blend, the Cabernet Sauvignon is much more tightly wound today and will always be a bit more aristocratically austere. Margaux for the Red Blend, Pauillac for the Cab.
