They have their own “Just Inn” (love the pun) and a restaurant. The main buildings are surrounded by vineyards and a lovely garden (they grow their own vegetables). Now let’s talk about the gorgeous property! While it’s quite a drive from downtown Paso Robles to get to the winery, once you’re there, the views are amazing. What I like most about this wine is its versatility with sweets as well as with Mediterranean or Asian cuisines (Vietnamese or Thai). You might find the other varietals in local stores, but the 2016 Reserve Tempranillo can only be purchased directly from the winery. I’m a huge fun of dark chocolates and Tempranillo so naturally my favorites are #4 and #6.
Their flagship wine, Isosceles, helped put Justin on the map earning it the #6 spot among Wine Spectator’s Top 100 wines in 2000. Six years later, their first production was introduced to the public. For those unfamiliar with the history of Justine wines, it was founded by former investment banker Justin Baldwin and his wife, Deborah in 1981. By the way, they have grapevines for sale in case you’re an aspiring winemaker.Īnyone who’s been at Costco will recognize the Justin brand especially after Fiji Water acquired them in 2010. When that red Rhone varietals hit the back of your mouth, and go down your throat, it's the best feeling! Even better, there is a vintage chart available on their website to tell you an optimal time to drink your wine so you can really savor every sip.

The red blends are full bodied, yet smooth and elegant. I'm not a huge fan of Rhone varietals, but absolutely enjoyed their white blend, Esprit de Blanc (retail $45 per bottle, $36 for members). 2017 En Gobelet (exclusive only to members).2016 Mourvedre (the chief grape in their blend).Known for their organically grown, hand-harvested Rhone varieties of grapes, this winery produces a number of blends, including whites. And if your palate gravitates to California wines, these Old World wines may take time to grow on you. If you’ve been to the Rhone region of France and enjoyed the wines, look no further than Tablas Creek.
