This has become one of JUSTIN's iconic wines in a very brief time. It is a unique blend inspired by the Bordeaux "right-bank" regions of St. Emilion and Pomerol, where very little cabernet sauvignon is grown due to soil and drainage conditions. JUSTIN has always been "justifiably" proud of the excellent cabernet franc on our property, and our small plots of merlot give it just the right richness of fruit in a serious and cellarable wine. It offers a touch more elegance than our complementary ISOSCELES blend, and sees a briefer time in French-only oak as well.
Wine Spectator
"Zesty blackberry, wild berry, cedar and spice flavors are complex and full-bodied, a touch coarse and rustic from midpalate on, ending with gritty tannins. Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Best from 2012 through 2020. 5,000 cases made."
