Corra Wines was founded in 2004 by Celia Welch, a winemaker with more than 25 years of experience making wine for Napa Valley vintners. A graduate of the University of California at Davis in enology, Welch worked briefly in New Zealand before becoming an independent wine consultant in Napa. Corra makes only Cabernet Sauvignon from grapes grown in the Napa Valley. Welch named her wine after the Celtic goddess Corra, who represents prophecy and is visible to humans as a crane. Corra wines have earned excellent reviews.
