Tasting notes
The 2015 Immigrant, Outpost's Cabernet Sauvignon/Cabernet Franc blend, is terrific. Deep, plush and exotic to its core, the 2015 exudes intense richness from the very first taste. Super-ripe dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, menthol and licorice add to the wine's distinctly extroverted profile. The 2015 naturally needs a few years in bottle to settle down, but it has a lot to offer.

The Bordeaux blend is the 2015 True Vineyard Immigrant and it’s 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot and 23% Cabernet Franc that’s from a very rock site on Howell Mountain that was planted in 2001 and 2002. Blackcurrants, blueberries, black cherries, exotic flowers, and spice all emerge from this medium to full-bodied, pure, beautifully seamless 2015 that has fine, fine tannin and a finish that won’t quit. Give this beauty 4-5 years and enjoy over the following 15-20.
Blended of 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Cabernet Franc and 38% Merlot, the 2015 True Vineyard Immigrant gives a deep garnet-purple color and is scented of black and red currants, black berries and beef drippings with touches of dried Provence herbs, underbrush and garrigue, plus touches of pencil shavings and lavender. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is vibrant and refreshing, with a great core of youthful, crunchy fruit structured by ripe, grainy tannins, finishing with a lovely herbal lift. 258 cases produced.
