2019 / Red
2019 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 2019 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, lighter at the rim with moderate slightly stained tears on the glass.
Aroma: Robust aromas of boysenberry, black cherry, plums with dried herbs, black pepper, baking spice, leather, camphor and oak.
Palate: Full-bodied, with ripe blackberry, pluot, and mixed cherries with cinnamon, black pepper, and tanned leather on the entry. Robustly textured tannins lead to a mid-palate featuring smoked tea leaves and savory meats. The long and balanced finish is dominated by the lasting flavors of dried cranberry, camphor and baking spices.
Food pairings
The 2019 SAVANT is a mouth-filling, bold wine with a balanced combination of ripe fruit and savory elements which will pair well with dishes like grilled hangar steak with chimichurri sauce or game meats such as venison and wild boar.
