title: La Jota Vineyard 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon (Howell Mountain)
description: The tannins are so fierce on this baby Cabernet that they effectively lock it down and make it tough to drink now. Yet there's a fabulous core of blackberries that are rich, ripe and intense. Everything about it suggests ageability. Give it at least eight years in a proper cellar, and it could age even longer.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
