Justin Savant 2021

Bright with a purple/ruby core that lightens at the rim, with thick, heavy, moderately stained tears on the glass. Aromatic with ripe fruit aromas of black plum, dried fig, and blackcurrant, leading into barrel aging notes of vanilla, cigar box, cinnamon, and clove. Additional hints of lilac blossoms and camphor add complexity. Full-bodied with ripe black cherry, boysenberry, and black olive flavors on the entry that transition into savory notes of dried leaves, herbes de Provence, and cured meat with persistent well-integrated tannins. The long finish is highlighted by smooth, balanced fruit with barrel spice, smoky black tea, and toasted oak flavors.

A unique blend that combines the distinct characteristics of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, the two most highly regarded red grape varieties grown in Paso Robles. The 2021 Savant exhibits the depth and complexity that Paso is famous for, while highlighting Justin’s elegant and food-friendly style.
