Justin Isosceles

$97.99

Appearance

Deep ruby consistent to the rim, with moderate staining and slow-moving tears.

Aroma

Ripe and juicy Bing cherry, black currant, and plum lead the nose, with herbal notes of sage and warm balsam wood closely following. Cigar box, sweet tobacco, and dusty graphite balance the fruit and flora notes in the wine with elements of earth, and the nose is rounded out with traditional barrel spice.

Palate

Bright black cherry and blackberry notes on entry transition to a savory leather and cedar midpalate. The wine is full-bodied, with grippy yet smooth tannins and a touch of mouthwatering acidity. The finish is long and complex, with lasting fruit, cardamom spice, and soft notes of alpine gentian.

Description

In 1987, we made our first vintage of a wine styled after the famous First Growth producers of Bordeaux, crafted with the same uncompromising care as the Grands Vins of those venerable chateaux. Full-bodied, with ripe black fruit and complex baking spice, it’s ready to drink right out of the gate, but be sure to save a few bottles as it continues to evolve after some time in the cellar.
