The 2017 Justin Justification Red Wine is a bold yet refined Bordeaux-style blend from Paso Robles, California. Crafted from a meticulously balanced combination of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, this wine captures both Old World elegance and New World richness, resulting in a complex, approachable wine that showcases Justin Vineyards’ commitment to quality.

On the nose, this vintage opens with inviting aromas of black cherry, ripe plum, and red currant, enhanced by hints of cedar, vanilla, and subtle herbal undertones. The palate is well-structured and layered, offering rich flavors of dark berries, baking spices, and a touch of cocoa, balanced by a vibrant acidity and refined tannins. Each sip unfolds with depth and smoothness, leading to a long, polished finish with lingering notes of oak, tobacco, and a hint of dried herbs.

The 2017 Justification is perfect for pairing with grilled meats, hearty pastas, or aged cheeses, or for enjoying on its own to appreciate its full-bodied complexity. Available at Modern Mart DC, this wine is an exceptional choice for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a standout red blend that combines classic structure with Paso Robles’ signature intensity.
