Aromas of sweet black currants jump from the glass of the dark ruby-colored 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Post Vineyard. Dry tannin as well as a certain austerity are noticeable, but the wine reveals excellent depth, ripeness, and purity. It just needs time. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring, and enjoy it over the following decade. Tel. (707) 942-0930

Fairly tannic now, with a tart, dusty bite of grape skin, and also hefty in acidity. Underneath all that are ripe currant and cassis flavors. This is an age worthy wine that should develop great complexity after 2010.——S.H.(2/1/2005)—— 91
