Justin 2012 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Justin / Paso Robles

Richly buttered Bing cherries, plums, licorice, black pepper and a loamy mud minerality show on the nose of this bottling by winemaker Scott Shirley. The palate truly shines, with flavors of chocolate syrup-covered cherries rolled in fresh mint, espresso beans, charred pine and tannins that wake up the mouth and hold its attention.
