Justin, Isosceles Reserve, 2010

Isosceles is the wine that helped define luxury Cabernet in Paso Robles, and the Reserve is its top tier: drawn from the best barrels of each Bordeaux variety, blended only in the strongest vintages. Justin built its reputation on this Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend, rounded out with Cabernet Franc and Merlot and aged in French oak. The 2010 is now well into maturity, a warm-climate Bordeaux blend with the structure to have aged gracefully into its secondary, savory phase. Paso Robles brings the ripe, generous fruit; the cellaring brings the complexity. Decant it and serve with something hearty off the grill.
