The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon bursts from the glass with an exciting array of black cherries, licorice, grilled herbs and new leather. It shows gorgeous textural finesse and elegance all the way through to the round, textured finish. This is an absolutely gorgeous bottle of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. This is a gorgeous set of wines from Frank and Kathy Dotzler. The Outpost wines have very distinct personalities, and stand quite apart from most of what is being made in Napa Valley today, especially when it comes to Grenache, Zinfandel and Petite Syrah. The estate is located on Howell Mountain, in a very distinct microclimate that features a condensed growing season. When I visited in April this year the vines were completely dormant, yet when I returned, in late October, early morning temperatures were easily ten degrees warmer than they were on the valley floor.Tel.
