About the Wine
A classic French Rhône-style blend—Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre (GSM)—but with a JUSTIN twist as bold Paso Robles Syrah imparts rich intensity.

Body
Appearance
Bright with a dark ruby core with a purple hue in the glass, lightening toward the rim with tears that are moderately thick and lightly stained.
Aroma
The nose blossoms with air into a complex mélange of ripe berries – blackberry, strawberry, and raspberry liqueur shaded by dried herbs and savory barrel spice notes.
Palate
Medium-bodied with flavors of red raspberry, pomegranate, cranberry, and strawberry on fresh entry. The midpalate turns savory with notes of rose, sage, rosemary, and black olive, followed by notes of leather and cured meat. The long, rich finish lingers with savory spice and restrained oak notes accenting smooth ripe fruit flavors.
