Justin Vineyards & Winery
Central Coast Sauvignon Blanc
Central Coast, California, USA
Pale yellow and clear. Straw and herbs on nose. Grapefruit, lemon, nectarine, Crenshaw melon and creamy viscousness (lees contact?) in mouth, moderate skin astringency on finish. Nice flavors, free run/pressing a tad rough given skin tannins.

Ending the year on a high note with a Wednesday Wine Committee appearance. As always, wines are tasted blind. This week, there was 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 2 reds and 1 dessert.
I really tried to put this outside the US, but ultimately guessed west coast SB. Lots of citrus/tart notes, but lower acidity than my favorite SBs. Not much stone fruit and graphite. Definitely meant to be enjoyed young.

The go-to central coast Sauvignon Blanc.

Picked up at the Albertson’s in Paso Robles. Really delightful for it’s price point. Would definitely have again.

Had with grilled chicken, tastes like summer on a cold winter day.

Great on the nose; but underwhelming on the palate
