  • 2005 Outpost Grenache - USA, California, Napa Valley, Howell Mountain (9/29/2010)
    15.3% alcohol. Medium ruby red. An expressive, herbal, red fruit nose. Cherries, rasberries, forest floor and herbal flavors. Well balanced, good acid backbone. Lingering aftertaste.

I first tasted this wine several years back and was frankly unimpressed. Very light, thin and closed. Little sensory interest of any kind. This wine has filled out and grown up nicely. Still subtle, but very pleasing. (90 pts.)
