96 points - rare
Outpost is one of California's finest Zinfandel producers with winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown - limited.
Superstar winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown has completely bowled us over with the Outpost Howell Mountain Zinfandel, bursting as it is from the glass with aromas of lemon thyme, blueberry, fig newtons, dried blueberries, black cherry, all lilting above a palate with thrilling concentration. This is spectacular Zinfandel that simply knows exactly how good it is.
95 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The Outpost 2018 Zinfandel isn't far off the style of the Grenache yet has plenty of classic Zin character as well. Blue fruits, peppery herbs, sandalwood, tobacco, and assorted spice notes all emerge from the glass, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a rounded, layered texture, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This is a gorgeous Zinfandel, and like the Grenache release, it’s a singular wine. Drink it over the coming 10-12 years as well."
91 Points Robert Parker: "Made from 100% Zinfandel, the Outpost 2018 Zinfandel is deep garnet-purple colored, sashaying out of the glass with bold, open-knit scents of warm blackberries, cracked pepper, spice box and raspberry pie, plus hints of hoisin and fruitcake. Full-bodied, the palate delivers mouth-filling black fruit preserves flavors and a racy line, textured by chewy tannins, finishing long and spicy. 600 cases were made."
