2018 / Red
2018 SAVANT
A unique blend that combines the distinctive characteristics of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, the two most highly regarded red grape varieties grown in Paso Robles. The 2018 SAVANT exhibits the depth and complexity that Paso is famous for, while still displaying the elegant, food friendly JUSTIN style. Rich, with full ripe black fruit, spice and smoky meaty elements, it's a wine that lovers of bold wines will be captivated by, while still being classy enough to display exquisite table manners, pairing well with a wide variety of food.

Tasting notes
Appearance: Bright, deep purple, ruby core with a lighter rim and slow forming, thick, moderately stained tears.
Aroma: Very Aromatic with black fruit of cherry, berry and blackcurrant, smoke, cracked pepper, vanilla, oak, leather and sweet tobacco.
Palate: Full-bodied and textured, with ripe black mixed with red fruit on entry with baking spice and oak. Savory leather, black pepper and smoky autumn leaves join on the mid-palate with full, grippy tannins that lead the way into a long, balanced finish with sustained cherry and berry fruit, cured meat and subtle camphor notes.
Food pairings
This is a bold wine that combines ripe fruit with full textures and balances nicely on the palate making it a great pairing for full flavored foods like BBQ, Venison, or roasted leg of lamb.
