Justin,Justification: Cabernet Franc and Merlot

With JUSTIFICATION, the Old World meets the New in a seamless blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. This wine channels the spirit of the finest right-bank Bordeaux producers who elevate Cabernet Franc, revealing a complex bouquet of herbs, red fruits and an elegant, poised structure, reimagined with a Paso Robles twist—ripe, full fruit clarity and a lifted, fragrant profile. On the palate, JUSTIFICATION offers refined tannins that support a long, graceful finish, with notes of plum, blackberry, green tobacco, and a touch of vanilla and spice from gentle oak aging. The wine balances bright acidity with ripe fruit, giving it versatility for aging a bit in bottle or enjoying in its youth. Its aromatic ensemble invites smoked meats, herb-roasted vegetables, and roasted poultry, as well as richer fare like grilled lamb or a hearty mushroom ragù. A versatile pairing wine for a wide range of foods, JUSTIFICATION shines at a romantic dinner by a crackling fire and also complements summer evenings on the patio or a casual backyard barbecue. Drink now through the next several years, enjoying its evolving complexity as it rests in the glass. 750ml
