From the Robert Parker “Wine Advocate”
The Outpost’s 2012 Petite Sirah The Other is 100% Petite Sirah aged 18 months in 50% new and 50% used French oak. A massive monster that will still be alive 30-40 years from now, this 200-case cuvée is rich with blueberry, blackberry and raspberry fruit notes intermixed with hints of wet minerals and flowers. With stunning purity and focus, masochists may enjoy it now, but it will be strutting its stuff in 15 or more years.
