For more than 30 vintages, ISOSCELES has been our flagship wine and quality benchmark for this of wine here on the Central Coast of California. A blend based on Cabernet Sauvignon supported by Cabernet Franc and Merlot, the 2018 ISOSCELES shows why Paso Robles is such a great place to grow these varieties.Full-bodied, with ripe black fruit, complex baking spice and amazingly ready to drink right out of the gate, you can try a bottle or two now, but make sure to save a few to enjoy this wine as it continues to evolve after some time in the cellar. Appearance: Deep rubypurple core with black secondary , lighter toward the rim with moderate plus viscosity and slow forming, moderately stained tears. Aroma: Very aromatic and complex with ripe black cherry and cassis fruit, vanilla, cinnamon and licorice spice with sweet tobacco, cedar, leather and camphor notes. Palate: Full-bodied with ripe black cherry and blackcurrant fruit complemented with baking spice and oak notes on entry. Sustained fruit and spice are joined by savory autumn leaf, cedar and leather on the mid-palate with mouth filling, fine tannins that lead into a long, complex and balanced finish with attractive fruit, spice, cedar and subtle camphor notes.Try it with a classic herb crusted roasted rack of lamb, a grilled prime ribeye steak, or the exquisite cheeseburgers with tomato, arugula, bacon jam and chive aioli from The Restaurant at JUSTIN. Review: A stunning Bordeaux blend with smooth, intense flavors of plum, toast, and chocolate. Dense, layered, and balanced, with a long, concen- trated finish. -Tasting Panel\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Justin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44949183037487,"sku":"450265","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/justinisol_375302bc-226b-4bb1-950f-bd544b297cfe.jpg?v=1771490896"},{"product_id":"justin-vineyards-amp-winery-reserve-cabernet-sauvignon-2022","title":"Justin Vineyards \u0026 Winery Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClear and deep ruby in color, lightening at the rim, with light staining in the glassand moderately thick tears.

The 2022 vintage was another drought year, and Paso Robles experienced late season heat waves. Made from 100% Cabernet that was aged for 21 months in French oak, 50% of it new, it clocks in at 15.5 % alcohol. However, when tasted blind, it offers an aroma of ultra-ripe black berries, chocolate, and spices that by the final swirl is absolutely gorgeous. Full-bodied with very juicy black fruit flavors and spice backed up by toasty oak, it all holds together seamlessly thanks to integrated tannins. The finish ends on a light toasty oak note. The real challenge is to pair it with a comparably robust main course. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e-Wine Review Online 93 Points\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Justin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45452820185135,"sku":"452364","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/jsutcabreserve.jpg?v=1781067644"}],"url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/collections\/wineries-justin.oembed","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
