Outpost Howell Mountain Zinfandel 2018

Outpost Howell Mountain Zinfandel 2018

Purple in color. 16.1% ABV. Heady nose of red and blue fruits, anise and pepper. Full bodied with remarkable acidity. Raspberry liqueur, blueberry and white pepper on the palate. Exceptional length on the finish. Big, full throttle, hedonistic Zinfandel that is absolutely stunning. Best over the next 2-3 years.

Critical Acclaim

93 Vinous

The 2018 Zinfandel packs a serious punch. Bright, deep and full of character, the 2018 captures all the essence of this Howell Mountain site. Sweet red cherry fruit, wild flowers, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco all race out of the glass. This is a pretty rich style for Zinfandel, but it works.

Made from 100% Zinfandel, the 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.
