| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Old World meets the New with a blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot\r\nBright, with a deep ruby core lightening to a ruby garnet at the rim, with light staining on slow-forming, persistent tears. Highly aromatic with black cherry, pomegranate, and red plum fruit along with notes of vanilla, new leather, pencil shavings, and oak. Moderate-plus bodied with ripe blackberry, baked strawberry, and juicy plum on entry, evolving into the savory midpalate with moderate, fine tannins and notes of leather, dried oregano, wild sage, and white rose petal with dusty terra-cotta. The finish is long and intricate with sweet tobacco, vanilla bean, oak, licorice, and a lingering note of camphor.\r\nBlend: 66% Cabernet Franc, 34% Merlot\r\n\r\n\r\nAbout Justin Winery\r\nOUR VINEYARDS\u00a0\u2013 We planted our first vineyard back in 1981 with a mission to make world-class Bordeaux-style blends. Since then, we\u2019ve expanded both our knowledge of viticulture in this unique region as well as our acreage.\r\nSOIL\u00a0\u2013 Rich in fossilized limestone from eons of marine deposits, JUSTIN\u2019s soil is ideally suited to creating big, Bordeaux-style reds. The limestone \u201cstresses\u201d the vines, producing grapes that fully express their varietal character.\r\nCLIMATE\u00a0\u2013 Paso Robles\u2019 distinctive microclimate offers the widest day-night temperature swings of any grape-growing region in California. The hot days allow the grapes to develop intense flavor, while the cool nights create great structure and balance.\r\nOUR Winemaking PHILOSOPHY\r\nAt Justin, we combine traditional Old World methods\u2014like hand-harvesting and small-barrel aging in French oak\u2014with New World technology. For example: the \u201cAir Knife,\u201d an ingenious process invented by our winemakers, boosts grape quality and efficiency.\r\nOnce the grapes are harvested, our winemakers\u2014some of the best in the business\u2014gather to sort, select, age, taste, blend and decide what goes into every bottle. |
