Tasting Notes
"Outpost's 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon True Vineyard features floral notes, crushed stone, cassis, blueberries and a hint of mocha as well. It's also full-bodied, rich and concentrated yet amazingly plush, silky and long on the finish. In a few words, it's complex yet harmonious, powerful yet elegant." - Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate (RP), 100 Points
"Another perfect wine from this team is the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon True Vineyard, a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from a site on Howell Mountain. Revealing a deep purple hue as well as incredible purity in its cassis, violets, graphite, and minty herb-like aromatics, this massive, full-bodied wine hits that palate with a dense, opulent mouthfeel, tones of velvety tannins, and impeccable overall balance." - Jeb Dunnuck, 100 Points
The vintage
2021 is another extraordinary vintage for this region. Coming from a warm, incredibly dry growing season, the wines nevertheless hold onto a beautiful sense of freshness and purity while being concentrated, rich, and structured.
