Winemaker Notes
This wines dark, ruby robe is a lovely precursor to the forward, almost hedonistic bright aromas and flavors that follow in the glass. Jammy fruit aromas of sweet cherry compote are accentuated by the bittersweet chocolate scents in the nose. In the mouth, the flavors are equally as easily appreciated. Enticing flavors of chocolate cherry bon-bon and sweet black plum coat the palate in a delightful cascade of tastes. Due to its style, this port-style wine is immediately pleasurable, but those familiar with past bottlings know that a few years of cellaring will provide for an even more sumptuous libation. Enjoy!!
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.
