Note di degustazione
Absolutely as close to perfection as one probably can get is the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon True Vineyard. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is a selection of their very best material. This cuvée represents 375 cases aged 20 months in 90% new French oak. Opaque purple in color and more packed and concentrated than its sibling, it is full-bodied, with blackberry and blueberry fruit, perhaps a slight suggestion of charcoal and volcanic earth and burning embers. The wine has huge structure, massive extract and is as packed and stacked as a Cabernet Sauvignon can be. Forget it for 7-10 years and drink it over the following 40-50.

The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon True Vineyard is every bit as impressive as it has been on the several occasions I have tasted it from cask. An exotic concoction of smoke, graphite, black cherries and lavender makes a strong impression in a towering, distinctive Howell Mountain wine that is going to need a good few years in bottle to truly come together. This is a fabulous showing from Outpost.
A towering, vertical wine, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon True Vineyard is built on a serious core of structure. Graphite, crushed rocks, savory herbs and black fruit inform a classically built, multi-faceted Howell Mountain Cabernet endowed with pure energy and serious potential for the future. The flavors are bright, vivid and beautifully delineated throughout. Readers will have to be patient with the 2013, but it is superb, even today.
