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 grapes 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.
Tasting Notes
Body
Appearance
Intense ruby at the core, gently lightening toward the rim, with moderate staining and slow-forming tears on the glass.
Aroma
Delicately expressive, opening with fresh blueberry, ripe blackberry, crushed violet petals, cedar, and a subtle touch of vanilla.
Palate
Full-bodied and fresh, with black cherry and boysenberry cobbler on the entry, unfolding into a rich midpalate of mocha, clove, and leather. Silky tannins, bright acidity, and toasted barrel spice carry through a long, structured finish. With its dark fruit profile and bold structure, the 2022 PLATINUM Reserve is built for aging.
