Natural Cork

Owner Steve Contursi points to the north and south blocks of his estate property in southern Napa. He believes the north block has the quality to stand on its own as a single-vineyard expression, which he has named Lady Liberty Vineyard. Under the Coronet label, two new wines are being introduced for both on- and off-premise markets: an estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignon and the Lady Liberty Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. The latter comes from a single block distinguished by its lighter, turned-stone soils, as well as subtle variations in rootstock and clonal material. This Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon was aged for 22 months in 75–80% new French oak. The single-vineyard rendition is absolutely spectacular—lip-smacking and all too easy to drink. Tannins are suave, plump, and polished, framing a darker fruit profile that moves into black and even blue fruit tones, layered with savoury cedarwood aromatics that weave seamlessly through the wine. A distinct iron-like minerality adds depth, while the palate hums with energy and tension.
