The Old World meets the New with a blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot

Bright, with a deep ruby core lightening to a ruby garnet at the rim, with light staining on slow-forming, persistent tears. Highly aromatic with black cherry, pomegranate, and red plum fruit along with notes of vanilla, new leather, pencil shavings, and oak. Moderate-plus bodied with ripe blackberry, baked strawberry, and juicy plum on entry, evolving into the savory midpalate with moderate, fine tannins and notes of leather, dried oregano, wild sage, and white rose petal with dusty terra-cotta. The finish is long and intricate with sweet tobacco, vanilla bean, oak, licorice, and a lingering note of camphor.

The 2022 Justification opens with an understated and airy mix of sweet sage, blackberries and wet stone. It is round and supple, with cooling acidity and masses of ripe red and black fruits. It finishes a bit shorter than anticipated yet remains fresh and gently tannic.

Full-bodied, dense and creamy, with blackberries, grilled bell peppers and sweet spices on the nose. Fine tannins with a creamy texture and a dense core of sweet berries, sweet spices and a touch of chocolate caressing the mid-palate and the similarly generous finish. 60% cabernet franc and 40% merlot.
