Description

You are bidding on a six bottle boxed set of Justin Vineyards Isosceles Reserve 2001. Investment banker, Justin Baldwin, followed his dream of having his own winery in the early ?80s when he bought a 160-acre parcel of oak-studded rolling hills at the foot of the San Simeon Mountain Range, carved out a 74-acre parcel of vineyard land from it and began planting grapes. It is located 15 miles west of Paso Robles and beside his home and vineyard. He and his wife Deborah also run the very exclusive and romantic Just Inn, a five-star "bed & breakfast" style small hotel. Justin?s first vintage was in 1987 and, although he makes a Chardonnay, his specialty has become red varietals and blends. Varietals consist of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot along with various "Meritages" of these red wine types. Ten years after his first vintage, the winery exploded onto the international wine scene when his 1994 "Isosceles" blend was honored with the prestigious Chateau Pichon-Lalande Award for the best Bordeaux-style wine in the world. A few years later, he followed this accolade by having his 1997 "Isosceles" blend score a 95 by the Wine Spectator and being ranked 5th on their "Top 100 Wines of the Year" listing. Ever since then, wine aficionados have been lining up to buy Justin?s Isosceles wines. Get to the front of that line and bid now on this fabulous vintage.
