Summary

Where Paso Robles' limestone-rich soils mirror Bordeaux's legendary terroir, Justin Winery crafts California's most compelling Bordeaux-style blends across 700 meticulously farmed acres. Since 1981, this pioneering estate has redefined American luxury winemaking through unwavering commitment to terroir expression and sustainable viticulture.

Founded by visionary Justin Baldwin, the winery transformed from a 160-acre dream into Paso Robles' most respected Bordeaux specialist. Under winemaker Scott Shirley's expert guidance, Justin has elevated Central Coast winemaking through precise vineyard management and traditional techniques. The estate's multi-vineyard approach captures distinct microclimates from the cooling Templeton Gap to the elevated Adelaida Road sites, each contributing unique character to their acclaimed portfolio.

Justin's flagship Isosceles represents the pinnacle of California Bordeaux blending, consistently earning critical acclaim and cellar-worthy status among collectors. The estate specializes in Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, with their Justification and Focus wines showcasing single-vineyard excellence. These ultra-premium releases demonstrate remarkable aging potential, with production deliberately limited to maintain exclusivity. The winery's commitment to sustainable farming and minimal intervention winemaking produces wines of remarkable complexity and terroir-driven character that rival their French counterparts.

The Justin experience centers on their stunning hospitality center featuring panoramic vineyard views and intimate tasting environments. Guests enjoy guided tastings showcasing current releases alongside library wines, while private tours reveal the estate's winemaking philosophy and sustainable practices. The property's dramatic architecture complements the surrounding landscape, creating an immersive luxury experience. Exclusive experiences include blending sessions and vineyard walks, available by appointment for discerning wine enthusiasts seeking deeper engagement.
