Medium lemon yellow . Slightly smoky , citrus tinged nose with some touches of yellow fruits, orange rind , peachy floral hints , honeysuckle. On the palate this is quite rounded with citrus tinged peachy fruit , good intensity , touch of toasty oak on the finish , just a hint of chalk dust . Good balance with fresh acidity. Quite good length , showing well now and I would imagine over the next 5 years . This is much fresher and youthful than the last slightly premox bottle we had late last year. A good showing . — 10 months ago

JUSTIN – Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Central Coast AVA – California – USA 🇺🇸
Overview
A fresh Central Coast expression of 100% Sauvignon Blanc, showcasing a bright, fruit-driven profile with coastal influence. The 2024 vintage leans vibrant and clean, emphasizing freshness without excessive sharpness.
Aromas & Flavors
Dominant grapefruit, citrus zest, and persistent tropical notes, think pineapple and passion fruit. Crisp and aromatic with a lively fruit core.
Mouthfeel
Light to medium-bodied with a refreshing, clean texture. Dry, with well-balanced acidity, sharp enough to stay lively, but not overly aggressive.
Food Pairings
Great with ceviche, oysters, grilled shrimp, or fresh salads. Also pairs nicely with goat cheese or light citrus-driven dishes.
Verdict
A crisp, approachable Sauvignon Blanc that delivers classic Central Coast freshness with solid fruit expression and balance. Easy to enjoy and highly versatile.

Complex and pleasant nose, not too fruity. Balanced tannins with hints of blackberry, plum, black cherry, spices, oak, and black pepper. Bold and smooth. Dry finish. — 5 months ago
Color of beautiful purple with some ruby color in it, nice legs. Nose is nice with sweet dried strawberry ice cream, ripe berries, aldehyde, some refined spice, some fermented cabbage, strength of alcohol, and Coca-Cola. Taste is smooth and follows the nose, no tannins and a bit zesty, sweet berries with black pepper. Aftertaste shows some more Coca-Cola taste and clean. Light yet refreshing and decent flavors. — 4 years ago
Okay, some explanation is in order. First of all, the wine is off-scale awesome. Absolutely beautiful fruit on the nose, balance throughout a lingering, elegant finish. Fantastic. The cork, on the other hand, was a disaster. This wine was stored on its side at 55 F upon receipt from the winery. I am absolutely certain that Justin does his due diligence in selecting corks, but something clearly was amiss with at least this cork from the 2007 Heartstone. This is just a word of caution: if you have this in your cellar, the wine is awesome. Just be careful with the cork! — 6 years ago

New vintage of Justin’s flagship blend. A bit more constrained, but elegant and delicious as always. At 86% cab, is it really a blend? lol. Nice cassis notes. — 5 months ago
Nose of blueberry, blackberry, hint of licorice. Moderately complex with medium to medium long finish. At 10 years old this could go for another 5-10 years for sure. This is worth drinking now or later. — 6 months ago
Medium ruby , wide quite light garnet ruby rim . This has quite closed at first , with ripe raspberry , spiced red cherry , strawberry, touch of spice also. On the palate this is quite fresh and vivid, raspberry , red currant , wild strawberry , touch of spice. Quite high acidity and lightly grippy tannins . Light red fruited finish , of pretty good medium length . Still pretty young , and quite well defined and detailed, vivid, even though there is a bit more oak spice noticable than the Pommard tasted yesterday. With time this is drinking well now but will last well a further 5-10 . — 10 months ago
