Justin Vineyards - Star of Paso Robles


Justin Vineyards - Paso Robles original

One of the most famous and loved wineries in California is Justin Vineyards, a family owned operation founded in 1981 in Paso Robles. When Justin and Deborah Baldwin moved in, there were less than 10 wineries in the area and most of them had yet to experiment with any of the Bordeaux varietals. Justin saw the potential and pioneered the use of varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot and developed an acute sense of the terroir in Paso Robles. The climate there is dramatically different from the rest of California's Central Coast, being much warmer due to the shielding of the Santa Lucia Range to the west. This helps to produce ripe Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. Justin has become the resident expert in Paso Robles at harnessing the unique Paso Robles terroir.

Their facilities are state-of-the-art (and the guest house is beautiful too) and their focus is on making Old World style wines using New World techniques. Both Robert Parker and Wine Spectator have consistently rated Justin wines highly, and they aren't always easy to find. Try any one of the offerings below and you won't be disappointed. Enjoy the long weekend!

USA - CALIFORNIA

2004 Justin Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml - $19.99
JJ Buckley, Aug 2007: "The dark core of this wine leads to only a slightly lighter rim. Aromas of plum, currant, and subtle spice emerge from the glass as the wine opens up. A hint of tobacco follows behind the fruit. Shows good concentration and depth in the mid-palate. Lots of plum and cedar shine through. Medium to long finish accented by fine tannins." - Alex Lallos, JJ Buckley

2005 Justin Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 375ml - $10.99
JJ Buckley, Aug 2007: "Spicy nose of plum and black fruit. The wine has a densely packed core of black cherry and black berry fruit and a touch of fine grained tannins that cleanse your palate with food. There is an excellent concentration of cherry fruit which balances the tannins and acid with a pleasing, persistent finish." - Andy Frieden, JJ Buckley

2005 Justin Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 1500ml - $44.99

2005 Justin Vineyard Justification Proprietary Blend 750ml - $34.99

2005 Justin Vineyard Savant Proprietary Blend 750ml - $34.99
JJ Buckley, Aug 2007: "Thick and dark purple in the core; bright red rim with a touch of garnet. Cool aromas present themselves up front: spicy black tea, blueberry, boysenberry, blackberry. A touch of new oak floats behind the fruit, accented by light violets and a hint of white pepper. Nice entry onto the palate – smooth and round. Sweet dark fruit flavors with spicy white and black pepper. Bold yet ripe tannins on the mid-palate, with a lush fruit, oaky finish." - Mike Supple, JJ Buckley
