"Here’s a solid, sturdy, generous and authentic cabernet from a great site in Paso Robles that is less coastal and warm, but not too warm either. A tiny, almost-perfect window to ripen cabernet while not making the wines too soupy and hot. It is full-bodied, quite dense and ripe with lifted blackcurrant, violet, soft eucalyptus and generous wood spice. It is a bit hottish, but the flavour intensity and length are excellent. A big wine to be enjoyed in big, beefy moments."

Justin seamlessly integrates traditional Old World techniques, such as hand-harvesting and ageing in small French oak barrels, with cutting-edge New World technology. One notable innovation is the 'Air Knife,' a clever process developed by our winemakers to enhance grape quality and efficiency.
In 1981, they established their initial vineyard with the goal of crafting Bordeaux-style blends of the highest calibre. Over the years, their expertise in viticulture has grown alongside the expansion of our acreage in this distinctive region.
Enriched by fossilized limestone accumulated over countless marine epochs, JUSTIN's soil is perfectly suited for producing robust, Bordeaux-style red wines. The limestone imparts stress to the vines, resulting in grapes that authentically showcase their varietal characteristics.
Paso Robles boasts a unique microclimate characterized by the most extensive day-night temperature variations among California's grape-growing regions. The warm days facilitate the development of intense flavors in the grapes, while the cool nights contribute to exceptional structure and balance.
Having garnered acclaim for crafting award-winning wines in Napa Valley for 13 vintages, JUSTIN Winemaker Scott Shirley embraced the challenge of a completely new appellation: Paso Robles. With a blend of scientific expertise and an artistic approach, he approaches each harvest like a painter confronting a blank canvas, brimming with infinite possibilities.
