Notre cabernet sauvignon provient des meilleures parcelles de vignes autour du domaine situées entre 500 et 700 mètres d'altitude (1800 et 2200 pieds). Les raisins de chaque parcelle du vignoble sont vinifiés séparément, afin que notre équipe technique puisse être très sélective quant aux lots qui composent l'assemblage final. Les vins ne sont ni collés ni filtrés, ce qui permet d'exprimer pleinement le potentiel des millésimes.
Notes de Dégustation
"Plush, super-ripe and full-bodied, a massive but polished wine that's delicious and well structured for further aging. Blackberries, dried blueberries, creme de cassis, toast and a hint of oak char. A big, beautiful wine that's easy to sip despite its sheer size." - James Suckling (Jim Gordon, Executive Director), 95 Points
"The herbal notions are more like thyme and sage alongside lovely blackcurrant fruit. Full-bodied and supple, with a silky feel, the wine finishes with impressive length and hints of mocha and dark chocolate." The Wine Advocate, Robert Parker (Joe Czerwinski), 95 Points
Le millésime
2022 was another superb vintage at Outpost. Summer produced warm days and resulted in one of the hottest growing seasons in 10 years. However, a rain event after extreme heat in September was followed by relatively cool temperatures late into the growing season and allowed for extended hang time and optimal ripening as we harvested under perfect conditions in October (Between the 1st and 20th). Typical of the wine produced from the Estate Vineyard, the 2022's hold onto a beautiful sense of freshness and purity while being concentrated, rich, and structured.
