title: Terra Valentine 2009 Yverdon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Spring Mountain District)
description: There's a terrific core of cherry, red currant, mineral and iodine flavor in this wine, along with an elaborate oak treatment that makes it complex and dramatic. But it's also extremely tannic, leading to the question of ageability. In all likelihood, the fruit will outlast the astringency. It should begin to come into its own after 2015, and it could continue to develop much longer.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
