Justification Paso Robles Cabernet Franc-Merlot
Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
Silky Cherry tar, earth. Love Justification... this was great with summer grilling. I liked the ‘13 and ‘14 better... so this could need some more time (it better get better as the price has escalated significantly over the ‘13). Needs one hour plus to open.

A blend of 52% Cab Franc & 48% Merlot, deep Ruby with aromas of ripe fruits, with sweet spicy notes. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry with licorice and cacao adding in oak and leather. Well balanced with acidity, big ripe tannins, long finish ending with oak and vanilla spice. Has room to age. Nice!

Today I wanted to try a Paso Robles wine and I have heard a bit about the Justin wines. I thought I would stop by my local store in Chicago and pick-up the 2015 Justin Justification, a Right Bank blend of 52% Cabernet Franc and 48% Merlot from Paso Robles.
Upon opening I immediately am getting dark fruit, black currant, black cherry, raspberry, tar, licorice, violet, like smoke and crushed gravel.
On the palate there is juicy black fruit, black cherry, black raspberry, black currant, green bell pepper, spice, cedar, graphite, toasty oak and a bit of dark soil.
This wine is medium to full bodied with a smooth supple mouth feel. There is medium + acidity and medium smooth tannin that leads right to a medium to long finish. An enjoyable wine that would go good with some hardy food. Have a great rest of your week and be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Nice cherry aftertaste for when you’re chasing that cherry after paying for an expensive dinner out on the town. Had at Art of the table

Bright raspberry fruit. Nice tannin balance that drinks well now and could go for several more years.
