Outward Potrero Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2024 Review
This is a California Cab for fans of lighter-bodied reds. Located on the Central Coast, Outward is known for its deft touch with typically fuller-bodied varieties like Syrah and Cabernet, skillfully coaxing out the elegant, cool-climate expression from each. This bottling comes from the Potrero Vineyard in San Luis Obispo’s Arroyo Grande Valley AVA. The dry-farmed site was planted in the ’90s and sits at a high elevation. The resulting wine has a stunning depth of flavor — boasting notes of rhubarb, wild berries, mocha, and tobacco leaf — but wrapped in an impressively light body, coming in at just 13 percent ABV.
