For more than 30 vintages, ISOSCELES has been our flagship wine and quality benchmark for this style of wine here on the Central Coast of California. In 1987, Justin made their first vintage of a wine styled after the famous First Growth producers of Bordeaux, created with the same uncompromising care as the Grands Vins of those venerable chateaux. The hot days allow the grapes to develop intense flavor, while the cool nights create great structure and balance.
The limestone “stresses” the vines, producing grapes that fully express their varietal character. Paso Robles’ distinctive microclimate offers the widest day-night temperature swings of any grape-growing region in California. Since then, we’ve expanded both our knowledge of viticulture in this unique region as well as our acreage. Rich in fossilized limestone from eons of marine deposits, JUSTIN’s soil is ideally suited to creating big, Bordeaux-style reds. We planted our first vineyard back in 1981 with a mission to make world-class Bordeaux-style blends.
