TASTING NOTES: This wine delivers rich blackberry and dark cherry on the palate and aromas of caramel with a hint of vanilla on the nose. This is a well-balanced wine, showcasing the winemaker���s care in integrating tannins, fruit and acid. It is an ideal wine to pair with the classic steaks and sauces or the charcuterie platter at Torchy���s. The rounded tannins make this wine completely drinkable from the moment the bottle is opened. DISCOvERy: Just like us here at the WAC, Justin is making a distinct effort to go green. The winery is implementing sustainable practices wherever practical���in its buildings and in the fields. By using biodynamic farming and water reclamation ponds, and by joining ReCORk America, Justin Vineyards & Winery is committing to help the environment. ���Diane Rae Jones is chair of the WAC Wine Advisory Committee, former president of the WAC Wine Club, and a Level 1 Sommelier.
