The superb dense ruby/purple-colored 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Glenmore Vineyard possesses a gorgeous nose of smoke, black currants, licorice, and vanilla in addition to medium to full-bodied flavors revealing superbly integrated acidity, wood, tannin, and alcohol. The finish lasts for nearly 50 seconds. This gorgeously proportioned, harmonious, graceful, complex Cabernet is just beginning to strut its stuff. Anticipated maturity: now-2018.

The 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon Glenmore Vineyard reveals a precocious, evolved sweetness in its aromatics, plenty of cassis fruit, an elegant mid-palate, and firm tannin in the finish. It does not possess the weight, depth, and overall persistence of the 2001, but it is not far off the mark. The alcohol content of 14.5% is surprisingly high for this area. It should drink well for a decade. Importer: Ted Schrauth, Old Vines Australia, imported by Epic Wines, Santa Cruz, CA, tel. (831) 689-9080; Commonwealth Wines, Mansfield, MA, tel.
