Critical Acclaim

Wine Enthusiast
Soft aromas of black cherry and smoked meat gain complexity thanks to hints of olive, tar and thyme in this Cabernet Sauvignon, which includes 8% Cabernet Franc and 7% Merlot. It boasts chiseled but firm tannins and a blackberry jam flavor that entices on the palate, while thyme, cracked pepper and soy tones ride out the close.

Juicy and ripe, with plum and blackberry appearing on a smooth texture with fine structure. Balanced and rich, elegant and tangy. 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 7% Merlot.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2016 Isosceles is a Left Bank-styled blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc and 7% Merlot, aged 21 months in 100% new French oak. Medium to deep ruby, it has a nose of dark fruits with touches of cassis, cedar, tobacco and aniseed. The full-bodied palate is firm, grainy and mineral-laced with a long finish. It's approachable now but will age well over the next 3-5 years in bottle.

COMMENTARY: Paso Robles is well known for its ultra-rich, blended red wines. The 2016 Justin Isosceles is that and more. TASTING NOTES: This wine shows a load of ripe fruit and a generous palate. Its aromas and flavors of black fruit and oak should stand up with any red meat dish no matter how rich it is. (Tasted: May 23, 2019, San Francisco, CA)

Connoisseurs' Guide

85% Cabernet Sauvignon; 8% Cabernet Franc; 7% Merlot. Big, bold and insistently rich, yet not at all overdone or owing overly to exorbitant ripeness, Justin’s 2016 Isoceles is a deep and wellstuffed, very complete wine that displays a nice sense of layering and plenty of continuous dark fruit that stays in advance of its moderate tannins. Already showing a bit of palatal polish that makes for fairly attractive drinking right now, it has room to grow all the same, and those who favor complexity over obvious fruit might want to wait for another three or four years before bringing it out of the cellar.

Justin Description

Celebrating 30 years of crafting this beautiful wine, JUSTIN's 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is made with the same care as the highest quality, traditionally crafted Bordeaux styled wines.

Our grapes are hand-picked and sorted by the berry for consistent quality and flavor. JUSTIN Cabernet Sauvignon then spends more than a year in traditional small oak barrels to impart depth and complexity, highlighting the influence that our limestone rich soils and unique climate of Paso Robles add to the classic Cabernet character of this exceptional wine.
