Justin is again with two new releases from its 2023 classic, each fruit-forward wines designed for sipping as this lengthy scorching summer time involves an in depth.
2023 Justin Sauvignon Blanc Central Coast – Massively tropical, a distinction to final yr’s extra restrained wine. The large pineapple rush up entrance strikes into coconut cream in brief order, giving the wine some critical pina colada vibes. Because it settles down only a bit, notes of guava emerge, adopted by a heavy punch of white flowers, taking the wine to a semi-sweet end. It’s not overly advanced however it’s tailored for decent climate (like proper now). B+ / $18
2023 Justin Rose Central Coast – As standard, that is largely syrah, changed into rose wine. Juicy and brilliant with fruit, it is a strawberry bomb like few roses I’ve encountered lately. Creamy, with numerous vanilla, it comes throughout with an in depth approximation to a fruit-topped cheesecake, with some preserved Meyer lemon sprinkled on high. A light-weight contact of saline and, later, some hibiscus floral components give the wine a bit nuance, however not a lot. Positively extra of a jam session than we’ve seen in prior vintages, for higher or worse. B / $20
