Just in time for your summer barbeques and light dinners comes a terrific wine from Paso Robles wine country. To paraphrase Robert Parker as he reviewed wines from that area, "In ten years, the wine world will be viewing Paso Robles as on a par with Napa Valley in producing world class wines." Here is an example of the progress the area is making.Justin and Debbie Baldwin, founders of Justin Winery, were pioneers in developing the Paso Robles area. Their Justin 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
shows just how far they have come. It is jet black with a light red rim. Aromas of black cherry, plum and an assortment of spice, vanilla and toasty oak are prevalent on the nose. A soft, fruit-forward entry evolves into a lush, opulent mouth-feel filled with black fruit, earth and spicy characters. Hints of caramel and cedar combine with a soft, velvet texture on the finish. Think about that with a steak or a piece of tri-tip sizzling on your plate.
Hint: The wonderfully soft texture makes it a red wine that can be sipped while chatting on the patio.
