2019 Outpost Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2019 Outpost Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon ((94-96RP), (92-94JD)). Wine Advocate: "Sporting a deep purple-black color, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon needs a little coaxing to begin, soon unfurling to reveal notions of crushed black cherries, wild blueberries and fresh blackcurrant, plus suggestions of tar, wet slate, fertile loam and black truffles. The medium to full-bodied palate is charged with wonderful energy, delivering loads of black fruit layers and a firm, grainy frame plus and lively backbone, finishing long and mineral laced. (LPB) 94-96+" (03/2021)

James Suckling
“A classic mountain cabernet sauvignon with blackcurrants, crushed berries, and black earth. Full-bodied. Tannins that are completely integrated. Pine needle. Very typical cabernet character. Long finish. Drink or hold.” (11/2022)

Wine Advocate
“Outpost's 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% varietal, sourced from around the winery, plus some barrels from the True Vineyard that didn't make the cut for inclusion there. Just don't call it a second wine, as it's a beautiful effort in its own right, with wonderfully pure cassis fruit, accented with notions of vanilla and hints of dried herbs. Full-bodied, concentrated and rich, with a long, dusty, tannic (but ripe) finish, try it in four or five years and drink it over the following two decades. (JC)” (09/2022)

Jeb Dunnuck
“As for the three Cabernet releases, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate has a medium to full-bodied, balanced, layered, and elegant style that just begs to be drunk. Giving up lots of blue fruits, bouquet garni, tobacco, and cedar, it will keep for 15-20 years if stored properly.” (12/2021)

Vinous
“The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon (Howell Mountain) is an ample, voluptuous wine that will drink well right out of the gate. Super-ripe dark cherry, espresso, licorice, spice and copious new oak give the Howell Mountain Cabernet quite a bit of appeal. The 2019 is 2/3rds from the estate and 1/3rd from True. (AG)” (01/2022)

Wine Spectator
“Packs in a lot of plum, boysenberry and blackberry compote flavors supported by a racy graphite underpinning, with showy anise, fruitcake and Christmas pudding notes filling in for dramatic effect. (JM)” (05/2022)
