The delicious, smoothly textured, 2021 Justin Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles) is intensely colored, nicely balanced, and well structured; medium>full, with an abundance of aromatic and flavorsome black fruits (Bing cherry, blackberry); refined with barrel aging notes (spice, vanilla, toast); and framed with medium acidity and smooth tannins at the mouth cleansing finish. Tasty stuff, and should be ideal with tonight’s wine-braised, beef short ribs and potato pancakes, Happy New Year from Napa Valley! — a month ago

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 . — 5 months ago
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. — 21 days 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. — a month ago
Deep ruby; Sweet aromas of tobacco, wet hay, ripe blackberries, blueberries, plums, cocoa, old leather; high alcohol — 4 months 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. — 4 days ago
