Outpost’s 2007 Zinfandel is a reassuringly terrific, spicy, briary example offering notes of minerals intermixed with lots of blue and red fruits, incense, pepper, and herbs. This full, heady, flavorful Zin should be drunk over the next 4-5 years. This has always been an impressive source for good Zinfandel as this vineyard originally produced the Lamborn Family Zinfandels. Kudos to proprietors Kathy and Frank Dotzler and winemaker Thomas Rivers Brown.Tel. (707) 965-1718; Fax (707) 965-1761

Dense and concentrated, with bold boysenberry, white pepper and loamy mineral aromas and complex yet tightly wound plum and anise flavors that lead to ripe but muscular tannins. Needs time. Best from 2011 through 2016. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 1,200 cases made.??–TF??Region: California / Napa / Howell Mountain Select to Add
