About the Wine
At JUSTIN, we pride ourselves on crafting wines in an elegant Bordeaux style, like our ISOSCELES and JUSTIFICATION blends. But we’re equally passionate about exploring the potential of other distinctive varieties grown here in Paso Robles. Our past efforts include SAVANT and FOCUS, and we continue these offerings with our RIGHT ANGLE vintages. The 2023 RIGHT ANGLE is an expressive, eclectic blend of Cabernet, Petite Sirah, Malbec, and Petit Verdot, creating an intriguing mix of dark fruit, spice, and savory elements, all supported by a rich texture that’s sure to please red wine lovers looking for something different at a great price point.
