The 2005 Justin Isosceles Reserve is a stunning red wine crafted predominantly from Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and a touch of Malbec. This wine exhibits a beautifully deep crimson color that captivates the eye. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied and well-structured profile, showcasing its bold character. The wine boasts a high level of acidity, contributing to its vibrancy and ageworthiness. Rich fruit intensity offers layers of dark fruits such as blackberry and plum, balanced by subtle herbal notes. The tannins are notably firm, providing a robust backbone that enhances its elegance and longevity. This well-crafted blend is dry, making it a versatile choice for pairing with a variety of hearty dishes, and it showcases the exceptional quality of the Paso Robles region.

Central Coast
Central Coast

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
