Outpost Howell Mountain Zinfandel 2023 Wine (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

Outpost Zinfandel comes entirely from their estate property located at 2,200 feet in elevation. Grapes are harvested late in the season - by hand, at dawn - to preserve the full intensity and distinctive spicy character of the mountain fruit. Wines are neither fined or filtered allowing for the full expression of the vintages' potential.Vegan-Friendly Outpost's 2023 Zinfandel marries ripe cherries with a wiry-briary character on the nose, but for now, this full-bodied wine is more complex on the palate, where the supple tannins are buttressed by notions of dried spices and cracked pepper on the lingering finish. Based on 100% Zinfandel and aged 20 months in French oak, the 2023 Zinfandel offers darker plums, flowery incense, sandalwood, and peppery nuances in a medium to full-bodied profile. It has a pure, layered, seamless mouthfeel with integrated acidity and sweet tannins. This incredibly complex, satisfying, and nuanced Zinfandel is hard to resist. A classic zinfandel with deeply scented aromas of black currants, spices, dark chocolate, dried herbs and crushed stones. The palate is textural and rounded, with firmly framed yet refined tannins and a plush mouthfeel. There's good balance of texture and structure, with a fair amount of alcohol.
