Cathy Corison described 2005 as "a long season with a relaxing harvest, one that produced balanced, rich, pretty wines." Two thousand four, she went on, "is darker and more classically structured." The Kronos Vineyard behind the winery on the south side of St. Helena features 35-year-old vines planted on St. George rootstock and suffering from leaf roll virus, which slows down the sugar accumulation and generally prevents the grapes from reaching more than 24o Brix. The advantage, of course, is that these vines tend to produce full-flavored but fresh cabernet with manageable alcohol, a combination that's getting harder to find in Napa Valley. But in the coolest years, admits Corison, these vines struggle to ripen. Incidentally, the 2004 Napa Valley and the 2003 Kronos Vineyard bottlings will be released in September.

Cathy Corison continues to pick her cabernet grapes in the moderate 24o to 25o brix range, while many of her colleagues in Napa Valley routinely wait until sugars reach 27 or 28, at which point some raisining of the berries normally has occurred. "Ripeness is when the green thing dissipates," Corison explained. "If there's still a green thing over 26o brix, then there's a problem in the vineyard. "Corison described 2003 as an even year except for heat spikes before and after the veraison.
