Outpost
Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon



So, @Jody Scharf is poking fun at us for drinking these penis-extension cabs, for which I still await the experience…
But George Bernard Shaw said it best when he noted “we learn from experience that men never learn anything from experience”.
Wifey chose this tonight, and it’s spot on. No notes this evening, just enjoyment on every level.

Daughter and son-in-law distancing in the house. Great times and great wine. Easy outstanding rating on every level.

Wifey’s fruit cobbler in the background. Outpost is brilliant, as is the cobbler. Prior notes apply.

This is just straight up brilliant. Punchy, grippy and audacious. Direct from the winery for the best price on the market.

Ok this is just fantastic. I don’t think people understood how great this was given when we got to it but it was probably wine of the night.

Had this 2017 Outpost cab during a zoom tasting with @Antonio Galloni and Thomas Rivers Brown today! For a 2017 this wine is phenomenal.. so good right now but will certainly get better with more aging!
