Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
Black opaque core with slight purple/ruby variation at the rim. Intense cassis and black plum notes, followed by sweet vanilla from the French oak barrels. Variable notes of cocoa, licorice, lead pencil, and shoe polish waft through. Extremely dense black fruit flavors coupled with dense rope tannins make this a cellarable classic.
Blend: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc

Wine Enthusiast
A tremendous wine that easily held its own against Napa Cabs and blends, and a worthy followup to the wonderful 2006. Mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, the wine is extraordinarily rich and balanced and refined, showing Paso softness, but no absence of complexity. Really impresses for the depth and range of berries, currants, licorice, mocha, herbs, spices and oak.

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.
