Warm baking spices jump out of the glass, reminiscent of the aromas that fill a room after opening an oven door with freshly baked pie. Pie motif continues through the palate with well integrated baking spice and cherry reduction flavors giving way to a well sustained and satisfying finish.

Fairly ripe, dark raspberry tones and interesting nose of cigar smoke and roasted herbs. The feminine counterpoint to the other Justin label, Isosceles.

Red fruit and smooth finish. Not very distinctive, but I wasn't expecting much thrill from a cab franc / merlot blend.

Justin has combined the Merlot and Cabernet Franc to deliver a velvety, complex juice that will only improve over time. Paired with a filet and baked potatoe.
