Beautiful effort from John Giannini, TRB's assistant winemaker at Outpost. Loving thr '14's after a good 1.5 hr decant. Bright raspberry fruit transitions into stewed plums and cherries with warm baking spice. Love the story of this wine and the fact that this is 100% Howell Mtn fruit. 🙌 all around!
