About the Wine
Paso Robles is an exceptionally special place to grow cabernet sauvignon. Our cool nights, calcareous soils, and long growing season allow us to grow this grape variety in a way that makes unique, high-quality wines with full, ripe fruit balanced by fresh acidity and tannins. With this unique profile, our Cabernet Sauvignons can deliver in ways that wines made and grown in other areas of California just can’t. After decades of making Cabernet blends, we decided to focus on the Cabernet Sauvignon variety at the highest level of quality, and the result is our PLATINUM Reserve: a wine that shows exactly what is so special about JUSTIN, Paso Robles, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Produced in very limited quantities, this wine is a stunning example of a world-class Cabernet Sauvignon that balances power and complexity with an ability to age beautifully.
Each 750mL bottle is decorated in platinum, a prized precious metal which suitably illustrates the scarcity of this limited production. Twenty-four months of bottle aging prior to release helps ensure that all components have had ample time to marry and integrate, but additional time in the bottle will surely be rewarded.
Available to ship beginning November 3rd.

Body
Appearance
Opaque with a deeply concentrated ruby core showing minimal variation at the rim and moderate staining on the slow-forming tears.
Aroma
Powerful on the nose with notes of black cherry, black currant, and huckleberry preserves followed by leather, wild sage, vanilla, cinnamon and clove.
Palate
Full bodied and bold with dark fruit tones of black plum, cherry cobbler, crème de cassis, and blackberry jam on entry followed by abundant herbal notes of rosemary, sage, dried thyme, eucalyptus leaf, and cardamom. The mid-palate rounds out with hints of new leather, and sweet tobacco with velvety well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is long and complex with persistent fruit along with vanilla, toasted barrel spice, cigar box and dark chocolate.
