Corliss Estates Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Owen Bargreen : 99 Points

(6/17/2024) The gorgeous and heady 2019 Corliss Cabernet Sauvignon was stored in nearly all new French oak before bottling. The nose is aroatnicallqy intense and downright gorgeous with sandalwood notes alongside anise, creme de cassis, Turkish coffee and shades of graphite. The palate is seamless and intense with serious texture, verve and flavor density. Weightless throughout the drinking experience, this effortlessly glides through the mid-palate. Showing glorious length, this is really only an infant now at the five year mark. Cellar this beauty for another twenty five years. Drink 2026-2050

(6/14/2023) The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is all varietal and comes from the Red Mountain AVA. This vivid purple beauty boasts a killer bouquet of cassis, spring flowers, graphite, and earth. More vibrant, fresh, and lively than previous vintages, it still has terrific concentration, ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. It's one of the finest vintages of this cuvée that I can remember. It's brilliant today yet should evolve for 20 years or more.

(6/21/2024) Red Mountain minerality is all over this beautifully intense Cabernet from the team at Corliss Estate—brilliant mineral tones of graphite tip off the aromatics of this wine as Cabernet Sauvignon. The refinement continues with pine bough notes, rose petals and smoky red berry fruits all leaping from the glass. Gorgeously integrated tannins frame cherries, and a core of dark chocolate with wild mint, streaks of graphite and crushed dried sage carry the finish.

Vinous - Eric Guido : 96 Points

(10/2022) There's a cool-toned freshness to the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, as it dazzles the senses with a darkly alluring mix of black currant, exotic spice, hints of sage and sweet tobacco. This is texturally deep, with plush red and blue fruits complicated by saline-mineral tones, as a bitter hint of dark chocolate emerges toward the close. The 2019 lingers impossibly long, both potent and structured, yet also balanced, with hints of lavender and citrus-tinged blackberry that slowly taper off. Truly classic in style, this Red Mountain Cabernet is refined for 23 months in 74% new French oak barriques. However, readers will need to be patient, as the 2019 won't be released until 2024.
