Juslyn Vineyards
Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon
Perry and Carolyn Butler moved to California in 1982, from Britain and later in 1997 Founded Juslyn, name derived from Justine-the Butlers' daughter-and Carolyn. A blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc & 2% Petit Verdot. Aromas of red and black fruits with floral spice. Big flavors in this Bordeaux blend of ripe berry fruits with sweet notes. Rustic tannins that bite, medium finish ending with alcohol burn. No aging potential drink now, a bit pricy.

Jan 10th, 2018Yes, this is a very well made wine. Deep flavors of black cherry and cassis clad in vanilla and clove spice. I just have trouble justifying the price point on these big Cabs that I can’t tell apart from one another. Seeking more nuance.
