What we’re drinking: Justin Winery Paso Robles 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon

Here’s a delicious Cabernet brimming with ripe, juicy complex flavors of currant, blackberry and spice. For a young Cab, it unfolds into a crisp yet polished mouthfeel with a smooth finish. About $20. at most grocery stores.
A bit on the winery from its website:
Justin Winery is a family owned and operated winery making estate grown Bordeaux-styled wines. The winery is located in the Paso Robles appellation of California’s Central Coast. Paso Robles was first planted in 1779 by Franciscan missionaries and today, Paso Robles is an AVA that encompasses more than 600,000 acres.
In addition to their estate
vineyard planted in 1981, Justin has works with selected growers in
the area. Many of these prized vineyards are southwest facing
higher elevation and that produces some of the most delicious
Cabernets.

Justin Winery was bought by FIGI water last year and they are revamping their grapes as we speak.
