Tasting Notes by Jason Santos, JUSTIN Winery Sommelier

Appearance: Bright with a deep purple core and a purple-ruby rim with moderate, deeply stained tears on the glass.

Aroma: Black cherry, black currant and plum with leather, cigar box, and dried sage, vanilla bean, dried violet, oak and a bit of camphor.

Palate: Full-bodied with ripe complex black cherry, boysenberry, cassis, and blackberry fruit on the entry with baking spice. Dusty tannins appear on the mid-palate with cedar, dried tobacco leaf, and saddle leather as it progresses. The finish is long, fresh and balanced with notes of bay leaf, dried red rose petal, oak and sustained tannins. The 2019 ISOSCELES is a bold wine with ripe fruit and attractive savory elements, which balance each other perfectly. This wine is rich and complex enough to be enjoyed on its own but is a perfect match with a classic herb crusted prime rib with traditional sides.
