The 2015 'Justine' Red Wine is flat out sexy, delivering both wonderful richness and balance. The wine opens with a bright bouquet of rose petals, red currants, red cherry preserves and suggestions of bacon fat. The weight and plush mouthfeel entices as black cherry syrup, black olive tapenade, smoked meat and blood orange flavors complete this highly impressive wine that shows wonderful range. Texturally elegant, yet rich, this awesome effort by winemaker Chris Peterson will cellar marvelously over the next decade or so. (Best 2017-2028) - October, 2017 (OB)
