19 months in 90% new French oak . Really glossy and fresh. Lovely wine with great balance. Pure Howell Mountain? Opulent texture but not obviously high alcohol. Smooth as satin. (JR)

From a vineyard that had to be created using dynamite, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon True Vineyard is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, yet it shows exquisitely pristine blueberry fruit, accented by subtle pine-needle shadings. Full-bodied, concentrated and rich, with a plush texture that combines the best qualities of velvet and high-fat cream, it displays an awesome sense of balance, as it completely saturates the palate, yet it does so without any heaviness, then lingers elegantly on the lengthy finish.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon True Vineyard is one of the very best wines I have tasted from Outpost. Silky, creamy and deep, the 2019 possesses magnificent depth and tons of personality. Inky dark fruit, blood orange, spice, licorice and sweet oak build in the glass, buttressed by quite a bit of freshness and energy that add verve. In a word: superb.

Lastly, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon True Vineyard is pure magic. Loaded with ripe blackcurrants, tobacco, damp earth, and bouquet garni-like nuances, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, layered, opulent mouthfeel, perfect balance, building tannins, and an awesome finish. Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon doesn't get any better. It unquestionably offers pleasure today yet is going to shine for over two decades.
