Pale ruby in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.

Strong fruity nose of red fruits, tobacco leaf, light oak, earth, mildew, herbs, light spices, milk chocolates, black tea and light barnyard.

Light to medium in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, plums, light oak, spices, dark chocolates, coffee, tobacco leaf, herbs, black pepper and black tea.

Medium plus on the finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 19 year old Grenache from Howell Mountain is still drinking beautifully. Elegant and complex with a soft mouthfeel. The high alcohol is well integrated by now.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 45 minutes of airtime.

Was probably better a few years ago, but it is still delicious. Always nice to try these aged wines.

100% Grenache grapes were aged in used French Oak barrels.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Very surprised by this, but I guess no Mark Hébrart should be all that surprising. Definitely punches above its weight class, and has many similarities to the 2012/2013 PRSWC. Alluring freshness and vibrancy coupled with a shocking level depth and roundness. Very well balanced all-around; looking forward to cellaring the 2019s. Mouthfeel is pure velvet via a delightfully soft / oily texture. 60% Pinot Noir + 40% Chardonnay; Dosage: 4-6 g/l. Disgorged: 1/18/22 — 4 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2008 Special Club pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing and somewhat shy but there’s citrus, white peach, brioche and a rather fascinating smell that reminded me of a built-up roof. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose however here, it’s much richer and expansive. The finish is long. Young? Probably. Drink now through 2038. No disgorgement data. — 5 months ago

I bought this as a test, given that we normally drink the regular Outpost cab. We find no perceptible difference between the True and the regular. Stick with the regular and enjoy the value.
