Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon gives up notions of cassis, blackberries, black cherries and plums with touches of pepper, aniseed, sage and tilled soil plus a hint of cedar chest. Medium to full-bodied, taut and firmly structured, it has a lively backbone lifting the muscular fruit, finishing on a savory/mineral note.

Jeb Dunnuck
Moving to the Bordeaux releases, the 2015 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet that spent 20 months in 80% new French oak. Deep purple color and loaded with textbook Howell Mountain blue fruits, graphite, and crushed rock, it’s full-bodied, impeccably balanced, and has fine, polished tannin. It’s a complex, complete Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the coming 20 years or so.

Outpost stands high atop Howell Mountain, purched 2200 feet above the floor of the Napa Valley. It was established in 1998 with the vision of making wines that reflect the place in which the fruit was grown. The vineyards are high altitude, with hard rocky red volcanic soil and sunny southwestern exposures. The wines currently being produced off the Outpost vineyards are Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Petite Sirah. They also produce a vineyard-designated wine from their other estate property, True Vineyards. This vineyard is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec. The guiding principle of their winemaking program is to realize the full potential of their vineyards while creating wines with a true sense of place.
