Justin Obtuse (Port Style) 2009

This fortified port-style wine has been a winning idea for many years. We have been able to use some very ripe cabernet sauvignon in an unorthodox manner-- making a sweet wine by truncating fermentation midway through. This technique adds a bit of heat to the sweet result, and we feel that its fruit-intense character requires very little barrel time, and no new wood. A fun alternative for dessert, and a way to extend the JUSTIN pleasure through the end of the meal

Deep ruby with a garnet rim. Sweet, ripe black cherry, dried plum, and fig. Dark berries, cocoa, plum, and sweet raspberry jam with soft tannins and a medium-long, slightly raisiny finish.
