Corra Cabernet Sauvignon originates exclusively from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in the Napa Valley. The grapevines struggle quietly on the western benchlands of Oakville and Rutherford, and on the steep slopes of Pritchard Hill.
Each growing area lends a distinctive character to the wine. Although each site produces tremendous fruit quality on its own, it is the harmony created in blending them together that elevates Corra to its highest potential.
As an example of the highest quality vineyard sources, Corra is pleased to offer Cabernet Sauvignons crafted entirely from the Melanson Vineyard on Pritchard Hill, and also from the Tietjen Vineyard, from the Rutherford benchlands.

| Rating | 94 RP - The superb, dense ruby/purple-colored, full-bodied 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (a 220-case lot of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon) reveals elegant notes of spring flowers, lead pencil shavings, blueberries, black currants, and a subtle hint of smoke. Noble sweet tannins are noticeable, and the wine displays a restrained use of oak (100% new French barrels were utilized), beautiful purity, a multi-dimensional texture, and a savory, long, classic finish. It should age effortlessly for 15+ years. Corra is the personal project of the talented winemaker, Celia Masyczek, who is fashioning 200 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon from a Pritchard Hill vineyard.
