Justin Vineyards & Winery Justin Justification 2021 750ml

Grilled blueberry aromas are tinted with coffee bean on the nose of this blend of 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Merlot. The palate is dark and dry, layered in flavors of espresso bean, blackberry sauce and smoky caramel.

Full-bodied, dense and creamy, with blackberries, grilled bell peppers and sweet spices on the nose. Fine tannins with a creamy texture and a dense core of sweet berries, sweet spices and a touch of chocolate caressing the mid-palate and the similarly generous finish. 60% cabernet franc and 40% merlot. Drink or hold.

This offers up a slightly jammy profile of cherry and loganberry, with a mix of light licorice, singed vanilla and dill notes on the finish. Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Drink now. 10,873 cases made. (James Molesworth)
