Both of the 2023 barrel samples I was able to taste from Outpost are sensational wines in the making. The 2023 True Vineyard Immigrant should flirt with perfection and has a kaleidoscope-like array of ripe cherries, cassis, spring flowers, violets, and iron. This carries to a full-bodied red that's incredibly concentrated, has the pure, focused, elegant style of the vintage, flawless tannins, and a great finish. The blend is 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc. If you see a bottle, buy it.
