Winemaker Notes
Pale straw-lemon with moderate viscosity. Medium plus body with ripe lemon, yellow apple and white peach fruit with a complex, spicy wood component of subtle vanilla with clove accents. Medium plus body with full ripe citrus, apple, peach and a little green melon on the entry with smoky spice and green apple notes appearing on the mid-palate. The finish is complex and clean with spice, lemon and melon fruit combining nicely with crisp structural elements.
Made in a clean, refreshing style, the 2014 Justin Chardonnay is a perfect match for dishes like baked whitefish with a lemon or wine butter sauce with herbs like summer savory or oregano that a bigger, "buttery" chardonnay would overpower. Also great before a meal on its own, or with a wide variety cheeses and hors d'oeuvres.

Enthusiast
Justin and Deborah Baldwin acquired their land in 1981 and planted 72 acres in vineyards that same year. Initially they were wine growers, selling to other wineries. Then, in 1987, they harvested their first grapes bottled under the Justin label. Justin Winery concentrates on two Bordeaux styled red wines: Isoscleles, which is a 100% estate blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc and Justification, a blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Varietals are planted to specific soil types on their hillside vineyards 8 miles from the Pacific Ocean, on the Central Coast.
