Tasting notes
Inky blue/purplish fruit, sage, juniper berries, menthol, chocolate and lavender are fused together in Outpost's 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon True Vineyard. In this range, the True is marked by its unctuous, super-concentrated fruit and extroverted personality. The 2015 has more than enough density and sheer power to develop beautifully in bottle for many years to come.

Lastly, the tiny production 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon True Vineyard is 100% varietal that spent 20 months in 90% new French oak. It boasts an insanely good bouquet of ripe blue fruits, white flowers, incense, and menthol. This is followed by a layered, exotic, thrillingly full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon that has a gorgeous mid-palate density, massive structure, no hard edges, and a great, great finish. This is a quintessential Howell Mountain Cabernet that embodies everything you could want from this terroir and it’s going to have 2-3 decades of overall longevity.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon True Vineyard opens with expressive crushed black currants, black cherries and warm plums notes with fragrant touches of chocolate-covered cherries, baking spices, incense and potpourri. Medium to full-bodied, it packs in the ripe, rich, spice-laced black fruits, supported by velvety tannins and wonderful freshness, finishing long and layered. 310 cases were made.
