Appearance: Dark ruby purple core with a medium rim and slight staining on the glass. Aroma: Aromatic red and black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, complex barrel spice of vanilla, licorice and cinnamon, and subtle dried leaf, cedar and camphor notes. Palate: Full bodied, fresh with red and black fruit and baking spice on entry with savory fall leaves, cedar pencil and leather meeting sustained sweet spice on the midpalate. The finish is long and complex with wild cherry, camphor and savory elements wrapped in firm, balanced tannins. This is an elegant, wonderfully balanced wine that mixes complex fruit and savory elements with generous texture, all while staying fresh on the palate. The 2015 JUSTIFICATION is a versatile food pairing wine with an affinity for game fowl like pan seared duck breast or roasted pheasant, but is equally at home with a prime filet mignon served with a dollop of garlic and herb butter.
Wine Advocate

The 2017 Justification is a Right Bank-styled blend of 65% Cabernet Franc and 35% Merlot. Medium to deep ruby-purple in color, it offers bright red and black cherry fruits with notions of garrigue, dried herbs, vanilla and cardamom. In the mouth, it's medium to full-bodied, with slowly opening fruits and a firm, grainy frame. It has great lift and freshness and finishes long. An approachable, friendly style.
