Description:

The 2021 Justin ISOSCELES stands as the flagship of Justin Vineyards—a masterful Bordeaux-style blend that captures the essence of Paso Robles’ mountain-grown fruit. Deep ruby-purple in the glass, it presents an opulent bouquet of blackberry, cassis, and plum, woven with nuances of tobacco leaf, graphite, vanilla, and espresso.

The palate unfolds with impressive depth and precision, offering layers of black currant, dark cherry, and cocoa nib, accented by cedar and baking spice from 21 months in French oak barrels. The tannins are silky yet firm, giving structure and longevity, while a fine thread of acidity lifts the dense fruit core toward a long, graceful finish that lingers with notes of dark chocolate and violets.

Food Pairing:

A stunning companion to prime rib, braised short ribs, or rosemary-crusted lamb, this wine also pairs beautifully with truffle risotto or aged gouda.

Serving Suggestion:

Serve at 60–65°F (16–18°C) and decant for at least one hour before enjoying to allow the full aromatic spectrum to unfold.
