"The True Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from Outpost is made from 100% Cabernet grown in their high-elevation estate vineyard on Howell Mountain. Aged 19 months in 90% new French oak barrels and bottled unfined and unfiltered. It is almost impossible to put the glass down as waves of blue fruit aromatics and kirsch entice on the nose, giving way to black pepper, cedar wood and sage. Seamless layers of blue, black, and red fruit meld together as interconnected beams of powerful mountain-made tannins build until meandering streams of lacy acidity revive the palate and make way for a rush of spicy mountain garrigue and volcanic-like mineral tension—a profound wine with just the right amount of seduction to warrant early drinking." - Jonathan Cristaldi (03/2024)
