Corra Tasting Notes
The 2008 Corra Cabernet Sauvignon aromas offer an impressive array of dark sweet cherry, perfumed boysenberry and ripe blackberry, vanilla, cinnamon bark and sweet anise notes. The aromas are very slightly darker in tone than those of the 2007 vintage, more focused on dark berry and mocha in character. On the palate, the wine dances in an interplay between the light, vivacious fresh purple fruit tones and the undercurrents of mocha, vanilla and caramel, while texturally the wine is consistently full from start to finish. In keeping with Corra's traditional emphasis on texture, the mid-palate and finish show silky, resolved tannins; yet display concentration and crispness with enough enthusiasm to indicate a surety of age-worthiness.

Wine Spectator
There's a wonderful purity of fruit aromas in this full-bodied and remarkably detailed red, with blackberry, currant, cedar, tar, tobacco, roasted coffee and mocha notes. Perhaps a shade off the 2007, but nonetheless an impressively well made wine. Drink now through 2021. 94 points

Wine Advocate
The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon offers plum, cassis, camphor and forest floor notes in its dense purple color. Its elegant, medium to full-bodied flavors display ripe tannins, a good center core of sweet fruit, and a velvety, fleshy finish. Drink it over the next 10-15 years. —Robert Parker, 93 points
