Note di degustazione
38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 29% Cabernet Franc from three blocks in the True vineyard at 1,800 ft, all co-fermented. 18 months in French oak (75% new). Just 247 cases. Very deep purple. Perfumed and lots of tannin. Really quite bordelais in structure. Bit of alcohol on the end. A tad inky at present. (JR)

Smoky blue and black fruits, iron, black olive, and bouquet garni notes all emerge from the 2021 True Vineyard Immigrant, a blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc. Deep, inky purple, with an incredibly layered, seamless, and full-bodied profile, it shines just as much for its balance and elegance as its power and richness. This absolutely sensational wine can be drunk any time over the coming 20+ years.
A co-fermented blend of 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 29% Cabernet Franc, the 2021 True Vineyard Immigrant is herbal, with prominent sage and pine notes accenting black cherries on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is concentrated and muscular but also supremely ripe, with masses of tannins and hints of licorice on the lengthy finish. I suspect this wine will still be going strong in two decades.
The 2021 Immigrant True Vineyard is one of the finest wines I have tasted from Outpost since I started tasting these wines nearly 20 years ago. A wine of towering structure and energy, the Immigrant impresses with its balance. Mocha, plum, espresso and blackberry jam all build effortlessly. The 2021 deftly marries unctuous richness and energy.
