Justin Justification 2017

Taste Profile: Moderate-plus bodied with ripe blackberry, baked strawberry and juicy plum on entry, evolving into the savory midpalate, with moderate, fine tannins and notes of leather, dried oregano, wild sage, and white rose petal with dusty terracotta. The finish is long and intricate with sweet tobacco, vanilla bean, oak, licorice, and a lingering note of camphor.

Grape: 66% Cabernet Franc and 34% Merlot

Serving Tips: Full-bodied but lively and complex on the palate, Justification is a versatile food-pairing wine to a wide range of dishes from herb-crusted pork loin roasted with root vegetables, a pan-seared duck breast, or a classic gourmet burger.
