The first woman Winemaker-Proprietor in the Napa Valley, Cathy Corison produces three Cabernet Sauvignons, hand-crafted without compromise from benchland vineyards between Rutherford and St. Helena. She makes wines that are both powerful and elegant, speak of time and place and are structured to grace the table and enjoy a long, distinguished life. A wine appreciation course taken while studying Biology at Pomona College over 50 years ago led to a life in wine. A Masters degree in Enology from UC Davis followed. Winemaking gigs included Yverdon, Chappellet, Staglin, York Creek and Long Meadow Ranch. Cathy founded Corison in1987 and she and her husband, William Martin, built their winery in 1999. Both adult daughters work with Cathy and William at the winery.
