2/15/2024 - melsdad Likes this wine: 98 points2016 Kongsgaard The Judge Chardonnay - My first time tasting this elixir. The nose was somewhat reticent with a hint of lemon. On the palate, there are layers of rich, honeyed fruits, mouth-watering acidity with nice minerality. It’s a mouthful of wine, early in its evolution that I would love to try in 5 years or longer. There’s no rush. 98 pts with upside. |

2/14/2024 - Elkcims Likes this wine: 95 pointsExcellent. Pnp undesirable - first glass was massive fruit and alcohol. Recorked and drank 2nd night after an hour decant. It settled down considerably, becoming softer and more integrated with a lengthy finish. Last glass was superb. Full bodied, dense dark fruits - ripe sweet blueberry, dark red cherries, very creamy mid-palate texture, moderate tannins. Went well with bbq teriyaki chicken thighs. |

12/14/2023 - Bodyfxr wrote: 94 pointsPopped two bottles and decanted for a couple of hours. Had in a Howell Mt extravaganza line up with a 2013 Bluford and two 2015 Del Dotto "The David". Very smooth and balanced for a six year old. Still a bit young for my palate but still quite lovely. TRY never fails to please. Juicy Howell Mt fruit followed by interesting notes of dark chocolate and some baking spice. This will continue to evolve and improve. Drink or hold. |

2/2/2024 - brianofthevine Likes this wine: 93 pointsTRB for the win! Beautiful wine at the 10-year mark...a concentrated yet silky effort. Black cherry, blackberry, and dark plum fruit. Notes of dark chocolate, leather, graphite, cedar, and toasty oak. Nice firm tannins and acidity, with a great long finish. No rush at all...this is built for the long run. |

2/2/2024 - buckeye76 Likes this wine: 94 pointsDeep color. Black cherries, black raspberries and hints of licorice, spice and herbalness in the nose. Black raspberries, plums and chocolate in the flavor. Very well balanced, lush mouthfeel, full bodied, and a long very smooth finish. Drinking very well right now. I will drink my remaining bottles over the next 2-3 years. |

1/27/2024 - Nutty08 Likes this wine: 92 pointsA fruit bomb in this lineup, but this was well poised, sappy, and delicious. Structure is there but there's considerable ripeness and "fattness" to fruit, Quite fun and easy to drink |

1/26/2024 - Bryanb2002 wrote: 91 pointsI definitely caught the Rhubarb on the nose as a few others have noted. For the taste I caught quiet notes of cedar and menthol mixed with an understated dash of red fruit that I would say is closer to strawberries. The mouthfeel has a light cream feel but overall this was thinner and lighter than I expected. Overall I just did not think this drank up to its price point, nothing really stood out as unique for me. It’s fine, but there are wines that vastly exceed this bottle. |

2005 Outpost Petite Sirah The OtherHowell Mountain more |
1/20/2024 - RichEB1 Likes this wine: 94 points2005 Outpost Petite Sirah, The Other, Howell Mountain. This.....was legit the best PS that I've had in a while (maybe tied with the 1998 La Jota)! Why is that you ask? Because while it's full of pure dark fruits, pepper, and spice, it is WONDERFULLY balanced by literally loads of acidity and is almost refreshing to drink. People always talk about PS never evolving or gaining complexity (which I can understand sometimes), but this wine absolutely has. It's a medium - mouthful of happiness and I'm very excited to see where my last bottle goes over the next 5 to 10 years, as I'm positive that there is more upside. Great stuff! |

1/20/2024 - lundmc Likes this wine: 95 pointsOpened and immediately went through screen/aeration funnel into the decanter. Lots of sediment in the screen plus finer sediment in the bottle. After 30 minutes poured off a glass and rest went back in the bottle with no stopper for some slow ox. |

2013 Outpost Petite Sirah The OtherHowell Mountain more |
1/18/2024 - clayh55 Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis has been hiding in my cellar for a while. My experience with Petite Sirah-only wines is that they are super dense, gritty and teeth-coloring. This one was just over ten years old when I opened it, and the first night I felt like I was getting clubbed with a blackberry cudgel. A day's time and a little vacu-vin enabled rest in the bottle, and this turned into a very nice wine. Still have loads of blackberry and bramble, but some nice menthol and forest floor notes have appeared, and just the barest hint of iodine and meat. So yeah - drink'em if you got 'em. Tannins are smooth, acidity is low to medium and overall a very nice balanced wine. 15-20 second finish. |

1/13/2024 - thelostverse wrote: 93 pointsOpened but not decanted. Inky dark color with no sign of bricking yet. Dark and blue fruits on the nose, followed on the palate with addition of black cherry, violet and cassis. No hurry here. Throwing a ton of sediment - a decant wouldn’t hurt. |

1/14/2024 - NiagaraWiner Likes this wine: 91 pointsThe 2017 Outpost Grenache presents a captivating visual with its fading rim and slight crimson brick hue. On the nose, it unfolds an intricate tapestry of aromas: cooked cherries and black olives intertwine with notes of leather, creating a rich, earthy foundation. This is further complemented by an aromatic medley of dried herbs and soil, hinting at its tertiary evolution. The delicate scent of dried roses adds a layer of complexity, while an intriguing hint of meat sauce deepens the overall olfactory experience. |
