About the Wine
In JUSTIFICATION, the Old World meets the New with a blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. It expresses the spirit of a few Right-Bank Bordeaux with a Paso Robles twist. Its vibrant ruby color, yet fruit-forward, with notes of black currant and cassis along with overtones of anise and vanilla. It’s delightful now, and will age beautifully in your cellar. The 2023 JUSTIFICATION is the perfect addition to a romantic dinner in front of a crackling fire, or an evening summertime barbecue.
