Tasting Notes
Each year we selectively choose the best lots from the estate to comprise the Outpost Cabernet Sauvignon. Sitting at 2,200 feet above sea level this vineyard rises above the fog delivering warm
weather and sunny blue skies. The 2011 Outpost Cabernet is a graceful example of mountain tannins with a rich creamy midpa late. A balanced wine with notes of blue and black fruit, crushed rock,

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon (100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 20 months in 75% new French oak) reveals attractive scents of blackberries, black currants, charcoal and graphite, full-bodied flavors with impressive richness, a long, opulent mouthfeel and a heady finish.
This property high on Howell Mountain at an amazing elevation of 1,800 feet is owned by Kathy and Frank Dotzler. The debut vintage was 1998. They had the good sense to bring in Thomas Brown as their winemaker, and the results have included some terrific wines. This current group proves several points: 1.-2011 was a remarkably fine vintage on Howell Mountain; 2.- Outpost is intent on producing some of the world’s finest wines; 3.- this may be the finest Grenache made in northern California; and 4.- if you are a lover of complex, delicious wines, you should check out these Outpost offerings ASAP. Outpost has 19 acres under vine, 9 of which comprise their flagship True Vineyard. Five cuvees are currently being produced.
