2022 Outpost Zinfandel Howell Mountain
Choose options
Our Zinfandel comes entirely from our estate property located at 2,200 feet in elevation. Outpost grapes are harvested late in the season - by hand, at dawn - to preserve the full intensity and distinctive spicy character of the mountain fruit. Wines are neither fined or filtered allowing for the full expression of the vintages' potential.
"Aromas of blackberry and raspberry compote, vanilla bean, boysenberry kirsch and tobacco leaf all give way to a well-balanced and concentrated zinfandel for the 2022 vintage. Deep and brilliant color with garnet edges in the glass, the tannins are well polished and sweet yet provide a long, lingering finish that is already hard-to-resist." - The Team at Outpost, Previous Vintage Score 95 Points
Outpost was established in 1998 with the vision of producing wines that embodied the unique Howell Mountain AVA. Truly one of the world’s great Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel growing regions, the unique terroir of the Outpost vineyards – the hard, rocky red soil, high altitude, gentle cooling breezes and sunny western exposure – produces fruit of incredible intensity and richness. All of Outpost's offerings are 100% varietal bottlings and farmed and produced from their 28-acre estate vineyard. Thomas Rivers Brown has crafted the wines from the beginning.
