Outpost Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 (750ML)

94-96+ Points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker's 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." 03/21

93 Points, Antonio Galloni, 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." 09/21

95 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "Wonderful spices with pine needles and dark fruit. Full-bodied and silky with fine-grained tannins and beautiful length. Attractive vanilla undertones, but not overstated. Compact and creamy. Tight at the end. Needs two or three years to open. Try after 2025, but already attractive." 02/22

94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "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." 12/21
