Tasting Notes by Jason Santos - JUSTIN Winery Sommelier

Appearance: Bright with a dark purple/black core lightening to ruby/purple at the rim, with slowly

forming, moderately stained tears on the glass.

Aroma: Complex and attractively aromatic, showing very ripe cherry and black currant fruit

followed by savory notes of cedar, pipe tobacco, vanilla bean, baking spice, and warm oak.

Palate: Full-bodied on the palate with ripe notes of crème de cassis and black cherry jam, with

hints of red berry fruit on entry and vanilla, licorice, and baking spice leading into the midpalate,

which shows complex savory notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and leather. The lengthy and

continually changing finish progresses from ripe black cherry fruit flavors accented by baking

spice and oak notes to ripe chewy tannins and balancing acidity that adds depth and freshness.

The 2021 ISOSCELES is an exceptional wine that provides both an intensity and balance that

allows it to hold its own when paired with deeply flavored dishes like a slow-cooked beef stew,

rib eye grilled over wood, or venison steak.
