Paso Robles, USA

    • € 57 / 750ml

    • This Paso Robles wine has received good scores from various critics.

      Critic tasting note: (2021 vintage) "Grilled blueberry aromas are tinted with coffee bean on the nose of this blend of 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Merlot. The palate is dark and dry, layered in flavors of espresso bean, blackberry sauce and smoky caramel." - Wine Enthusiast

2021 Vintage Tasted: Sep 2024
Grilled blueberry aromas are tinted with coffee bean on the nose of this blend of 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Merlot. The palate is dark and dry, layered in flavors of espresso bean, blackberry sauce and smoky caramel.
2021 Vintage Tasted: Mar 2024
Full-bodied, dense and creamy, with blackberries, grilled bell peppers and sweet spices on the nose. Fine tannins with a creamy texture and a dense core of sweet berries, sweet spices and a touch of chocolate caressing the mid-palate and the similarly generous finish. 60% cabernet franc and 40% merlot. Drink or hold.
2019 Vintage Tasted: Sep 2023
See score for this and 1 more vintages with a PRO subscription.
2019 Vintage Tasted: Oct 2022
Sharp woodspice aromas meeting with dried meat and blackberry sauce on the engaging nose of this blend of 51% Cabernet Franc and 49% Merlot. The ripe and heavy berry sauce flavors are ladled over smoked meat on the palate, which is contained by firmly structured tannins. Matt Kettmann
2019 Vintage Tasted: Sep 2022
A well-made blend of 51% cabernet franc and 49% merlot that delivers lovely olives, cured meat, rust and a savory edge from the berry and currant fruit. Generous and flattering on the palate, showing sweet berries and spices with fine-grained and firm tannins. Creamy finish. Drink now.
2018 Vintage Tasted: Apr 2022
This is a lush and powerful blend of 66% Cabernet Franc and 34% Merlot that mellows and coalesces with patience. Aromas of blackberry and vanilla lead into a palate of mocha and ripe berries. There's a sense of lushness, but the texture keeps it within balance. Matt Kettmann
2017 Vintage Tasted: Aug 2020
Aromas of dried berry, baked soil, beef and a hint of smoke show on the nose of this blend of 65% Cabernet Franc and 35% Merlot. The palate is dry and smoke-driven, offering iodine and roasted strawberry flavors. Matt Kettmann
2016 Vintage Tasted: Dec 2019
This blend of 57% Merlot and 43% Cabernet Franc begins quite subtly on the nose, with aromas of berry, mint and oak. Polished tannins frame the palate, where flavors of black cherry, espresso bean and dried mint arise. Matt Kettmann
2015 Vintage Tasted: Nov 2018
Soft red-cherry aromas meet with dark spice on the nose of this 52% Cabernet Franc and 48% Merlot blend. Framed by firm, sticky tannins, the medium-bodied palate shows flavors of red currant, cedar and oak. Matt Kettmann
2014 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2017
This blend of 55% Cabernet Franc and 45% Merlot is quite ripe on the nose, with lavish black-currant fruit as well as dried dill and fennel touches. Impressively soft and thick, the tannic structure coats every corner of the mouth, carrying flavors of black cherry, mint-laced chocolate and black truffle.
2012 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2016
Blackberry, black cherry and blueberry aromas are cut by complex hints of dark chocolate and nutmeg on this Cabernet Franc and Merlot blend. The tannins are quite firm on the palate, framing black plums, vanilla, caramel, dill and dried mint flavors. Drinking 2018–2030 will allow more black cherry and blueberry character to evolve on the sip.
2010 Vintage Tasted: Jul 2015
This blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot is not one of Justin's best efforts. It's simple in construction, with soft tannins and cherry pie, red licorice and sandalwood flavors that finish with a touch of bell pepper.
2011 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2014
The greenness of Cabernet Franc leads this Right Bank-style wine on the nose and palate, with cooked bell pepper and pico de gallo salsa prevalent. The mouthfeel is even and not too heavy. Although it's very Old World in design, it would pair perfectly with Mexican dishes.
2009 Vintage Tasted: Nov 2011
Love the nose to this with dark fruits and cigar tobacco on the nose. Hints of milk chocolate. Full bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, long finish. This is a very beautiful wine indeed. Decadent and refined at the same time. Unfiltered. Made from 67% Cabernet Franc and 33% Merlot. Better in 2013.
2008 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2011
This Cabernet and Merlot blend is super fruity in blackberries and cherries. Sweet oak adds caramelized vanilla notes. The tannins are near perfect. Seems a bit one-dimensional now, but it's a very delicious dimension.
2007 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2010
Easily one of the best Justin reds in years. An unusual blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, it shows a wonderful texture, courtesy of softly ripe tannins and just-in-time acidity. The flavors are all cherries: pie filling, red currants, and ripely fresh fruit off the tree on a hot summer day. Delicious and compelling.
2004 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2007
Justin proves that Bordeaux can succeed in western Paso Robles, but interestingly, the wine is Cab Franc and Merlot, with no Sauvignon. Both varieties do well in cooler areas, and this wine does have good acidity and a rich earthiness suggesting butter-sauteed mushrooms with a splash of soy. An interesting, complex wine; a natural beauty to pair with food.
2003 Vintage Tasted: Jan 2006
Starts off smelling very new-oaky, and as it airs, this Cab Franc-based wine turns aromatic in cherries, cassis, violets and lavender. It's an interesting wine, a little hot, a little baked, but very dry. It's also fairly tannic. The cherries, oak and tannins suggest a good grilled steak.
2002 Vintage
This Cab Franc and Merlot blend is elegant and refined. Notable for the subtle interplay of dried earth, blueberry and oak flavors with the rich tannins. It's a wine of enormous charm and finesse. Bone dry, and packing a long, fruity finish.
