Justin and Deborah Baldwin acquired their land in 1981 and planted 72 acres of vineyards in Paso Robles that same year. Initially they were wine growers, selling to other wineries. Then, in 1987, they harvested their first grapes bottled under the Justin label. Justin Winery concentrates on two Bordeaux styled red wines: Isosceles, which is a 100% estate blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc and Justification, a blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Varietals are planted to specific soil types on their hillside vineyards 8 miles from the Pacific Ocean, on the Central Coast. Winemaking has been under the guidance of Scott Shirley since 2012. For more that 30 vintages, Isosceles has been their flagship wine. By Perry Miroballi
