Robert Parker (93)

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is a barrel sample composed of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and is to be aged for 20 months in French oak, 80% new. Deep garnet-purple colored, it sings of crème de cassis, baked black cherries, mulberries and preserved plums with fragrant earth, unsmoked cigars and cedar chest nuances. Full-bodied, muscular and laden with baked black fruits accented by lovely earthy sparks, it has a good, long finish. 1,412 cases are to be made.

James Suckling (95)

A dense, layered red with a solid core of fruit and tannins. Blue fruit. Cedar and mushroom undertones. A full and compact wine. Needs time to soften. One of the best of the vintage.

Outpost's 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon (Howell Mountain) is such a gorgeous wine. Readers will find plenty of power, but the 2017 is also remarkably well balanced for a young Howell Mountain Cabernet. Black cherry, graphite, plum, leather and spice all build into the racy, persistent finish.
