When compared side by side with Liparita's less expensive Rutherford Cab release, V Block can be likened to a parent's favorite offspring. Although both wines may share similar genetic material and upbringing, V Block has gained more dimension and self confidence through increased care and attention from infancy. #ridiculous :p

Brooklyn was slightly chilly today. I overreacted by opening solid, over delivering Cabernet. Fruit and oak is in check. Delicious overreaction.

Fragrant, aromatic, leafy, herbal, earthy, plum. Good elegance, soft, more red fruit than black. Not a huge style, quite Cab Francy. Good

Tasty and complex Cabernet from Liparita. IMO a much stronger representation than their Oakville. Classic Cabernet notes of cassis plum and dark berry compote. Excellent value.
