Celebrating 30 years of crafting this beautiful wine, JUSTIN’s 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is made with the same care as the highest quality, traditionally crafted Bordeaux styled wines.
Our grapes are hand-picked and sorted by the berry for consistent quality and flavor. JUSTIN Cabernet Sauvignon then spends more than a year in traditional small oak barrels to impart depth and complexity, highlighting the influence that our limestone-rich soils and unique climate of Paso Robles add to the classic Cabernet character of this exceptional wine.
Appearance: Dark purple-ruby core with lighter rim and moderately stained, pronounced tears forming on the glass.
Aroma: Aromatic with ripe black and red cherry, blackcurrant and berry fruit, baking spice and sweet tobacco with red and black licorice, oak, cocoa and subtle camphor notes.
Palate: Dry, nearly full bodied, with ripe black cherry, cassis and red fruit, baking spice and oak accents on entry with sustained ripe primary and mostly black fruit, dried autumn leaf, cocoa and a pleasant suggestion of camphor on the mid-palate into the finish. The finish is fresh and moderately long, showing lingering cherry and berry notes with oak and barrel spice nicely supported by fine, balanced tannins.
