2018 / Red
2018 PLATINUM Reserve
The 2018 vintage is the fourth release of PLATINUM Reserve. It is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and consists of our winemaker, Scott Shirley's, favorite barrels from the best barrel lots. This beautiful wine is the purest expression of Cabernet Sauvignon achieved from this vintage.
Each bottle is decorated in platinum, a prized precious metal which suitably illustrates the scarcity of this limited production. Only the Cabernet Sauvignon with the darkest fruit character and ample tannin structure was shortlisted for consideration in the blend.
Twenty-four months of bottle aging prior to release helps ensure that all components have had ample time to marry and integrate, but additional time in the bottle will surely be rewarded.
This vintage is exclusively available for members. Please call the JUSTIN Wine Society at 805.591.3200 or click the link below to pre-order.

Tasting notes
Appearance: Bright with deep ruby purple core with black tones andthick moderately stained tears on the glass.
Aroma: Highly aromatic and complex with a rich mix of black fruit of cherry, blackcurrant and boysenberry, oak with pronounced baking spice, sweet tobacco, black olive and camphor notes.
Palate: Full-bodied with ripe black cherry, mixed black berries with blackcurrant fruit mixed with rich spice of vanilla and cinnamon on entry with oak as the wine opens into the midpalate with firm chewy tannins and lingering spice. The finish is very long with ripe fruit, lots of sweet spice and sustained tannins that provide structure and contain the lingering ripe dark fruit and sweet spice notes framed with oak.
Food pairings
This is a rich, dark Cabernet that would pair beautifully with flavorful meat dishes like slow cooked beef short ribs or with a prime ribeye steak cooked over an oak fire.
