2007 Justin Cabernet Sauvignon, Paso Robles
From the same winery that makes Isosocles and The Orphan (See March 2, 2010 Twisting Vines), Justin gets high scores for it’s Cabernet.
Dark red color. Aromas of cherry, plum, spice and leather, with a hints of tobacco and leather. Fruit forward with layers of tart cherries and blackberries. Hint of chocolate and vanilla.
Medium bodied. Balanced. The mild tannins allow you to drink it as soon as you pour it into the glass. Hint of butterscotch on the finish.
“A very nice Cab, on a par with last year’s very fine one and quite as good as the 2002. It’s dry and rich in black and red cherries, red currants, cola and chocolate, with firm, velvety tannins. Beautiful now and for a few more years. —S.H.”, 92 Points. Wine Enthusiast, April 2010. Sold out at the winery. Wine Exchange still has it for $20.
