Our Vintage 1998 CORLEY RESERVE Cabernet Sauvignon has fragrant aromas of rich bright black-fruits and lavender that are followed by superbly extracted black-cherry flavors that are nicely touched by new oak and elegantly presented in a full-bodied wine. The wine finishes with strong notes of chocolate, spice and cassis.

Aromatics of juicy red fruits, toasty sweet oak and hints of vanilla. Flavors as expected follow similarly mostly noted is rich berry pie as the wine opens up – it’s our ‘everlasting gobstopper’ for the vintage. This wine once again shows nice consistency and balance throughout the entire experience – from the aromatics through to the finish. The mouth-feel is rich in texture and the finish sails on framed by firm but velvety tannins, one of the hallmarks from this long, cool vintage. This wine is drinking very well now, and should continue to develop and be enjoyed in the decade to come. – Chris Corley, Winemaker

The 2009 Corley Yewell Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon exuberant bright red and purple berry fruit along with rich tones of dark shaved chocolate. The oak is well integrated in the nose and reveals a very nice mocha and coffee aroma in the wine. There is a hint of eucalyptus aroma in the background that is very appealing as well. On the palate, this wine is rich in texture with well-defined tannins that frame the wine beautifully and will allow this wine to age gracefully.

Depth-Defying Richness. This wine is offering fantastic primary aromas of rich, ripe red-berry fruit. I find undertones of sweet blond oak and light caramel. On the palate the wine is lush, with a deep core of ripe fruit on the mid-palate. From front to finish, this wine is wonderfully balanced with richness in depth of body and also in character of tannins.

Celebrate with a magnum!
