Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2014 Outpost "True Vineyard" Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (100RP). Wine Advocate: "The limited-production 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon True Vineyard (475 cases) is also 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 20 months in 90% new French oak. This is an amazing 2014 and one of the few perfect wines that I could find while tasting at the top addresses in Northern California. Blue/purple in color, with extraordinarily intense floral notes intermixed with blueberry, blackberry, crushed charcoal and camphor, the wine hits the palate with a spectacular display of glycerin, fruit, sweet tannin, adequate acidity, and wonderful equilibrium and purity. The finish was close to a minute. This wine is irresistible, although it is certainly capable of lasting three decades or more. Kudos to the Dotzlers and Thomas Rivers Brown for this magnificent achievement! (RP)" (10/2016)

Outpost Wines is one of Napa Valley’s benchmark mountain estates, farming vineyards high above the fog line on Howell Mountain, where volcanic soils, significant elevation, and dramatic diurnal shifts produce Cabernet Sauvignon of exceptional concentration and structure. The True Vineyard, perched at roughly 1,800 feet in elevation, is a distinct hillside site dedicated entirely to Cabernet Sauvignon and is known for yielding wines of remarkable intensity, minerality, and longevity. Under the guidance of winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown, Outpost has embraced a minimalist approach that allows the vineyard’s dark fruit, volcanic character, and mountain-grown freshness to take center stage.

“The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon True Vineyard is ample, rich and expressive. There is plenty of the trademark Outpost intensity, but the True offers a good bit of freshness for the year. Moreover, the True has the frame to handle the wine's exotic richness and pure power. Inky blue/purplish fruit, chocolate, torrefaction, lavender and crème de cassis are some of the aromas and flavors that flesh out over time. (AG)” (10/2016)
