Justin Justification 2021

Bright, with a deep ruby core lightening to a ruby garnet at the rim, with light staining on slow-forming, persistent tears. Highly aromatic with black cherry, pomegranate, and red plum fruit along with notes of vanilla, new leather, pencil shavings, and oak. 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 terra-cotta. The finish is long and intricate with sweet tobacco, vanilla bean, oak, licorice, and a lingering note of camphor.

91 Points - Vinous

Plum sauce and sage are accentuated by hints of ground clove and white pepper as the 2021 Justification slowly blossoms in the glass. This is seamless and silken with elegantly ripe red and black fruits that coast across a stream of tantalizing acidity. While gently tannic, the 2021 leaves the mouth watering for more as violet inner florals and hints of licorice resonate on.

90 Points - J

Full-bodied, dense and creamy, with blackberries, grilled bell peppers and sweet spices on the nose. Fine tannins with a creamy texture and a dense core of sweet berries, sweet spices and a touch of chocolate caressing the mid-palate and the similarly generous finish. 60% cabernet franc and 40% merlot.
