2018 / Red
2018 CABERNET SAUVIGNON
With attractive aromas of black fruit and spice, this smooth, ready-to-drink Cabernet Sauvignon is made in Paso Robles with the same care as the highest quality, traditionally crafted Bordeaux styled wines. Our grapes are hand-picked and berry-sorted for consistent quality and flavor. JUSTIN Cabernet Sauvignon then spends more than a year in traditional small oak barrels to impart depth and complexity, highlighting the exceptional balance of flavors and textures that the unique climate and soils of Paso Robles add to the classic Cabernet character in this exceptional wine.

Tasting notes
Appearance: Deep ruby-purple core with a lighter rim and slightly stained, tears forming on the glass.
Aroma: Aromatic with ripe black cherry and cassis with dusty tobacco leaf, baking spice, oak, leather, camphor and hint of subtle purple flowers.
Palate: Dry, almost full-bodied on entry with ripe black cherry leading black currant and red berry fruit, with vanilla and cinnamon spice and oak accents leading a mid-palate with sustained black and red fruit, dried autumn leaf and subtle camphor notes. The finish is moderately long and fresh with lingering fruit, oak and baking spice framed by firm, balanced tannins. The 2018 JUSTIN Cabernet Sauvignon is an extremely versatile red wine, making it a perfect go-to red wine that performs well beyond its category.
Food pairings
Try it with pizza, a vegetable lasagna, or an aged prime steak right off the grill. It’s the perfect red wine to bring to a party or for a dinner with friends.
