2018 Outpost Zinfandel | Howell Mountain Napa Valley California 750ml

The 2018 Zinfandel isn't far off the style of the Grenache yet has plenty of classic Zin character as well. Blue fruits, peppery herbs, sandalwood, tobacco, and assorted spice notes all emerge from the glass, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a rounded, layered texture, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This is gorgeous Zinfandel, and like the Grenache release, it's a singular wine... | 95 points, Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
