title: Liparita 2009 V Block Cabernet Sauvignon (Yountville)
description: Hard tannins and a brooding toughness mask the fruit on this wine, hiding the black cherry and currant under a cloak of dry astringency. However, it seems to have all the pieces in place to age gracefully. Should be fine by 2018–2020.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: V Block
