A blend of 59% Cabernet Franc and 41% Merlot, the 2011 Justification offers classic Cabernet Franc character with its cedar, underbrush, wild herbs and spice-tinged currant fruit. Aged 18 months in 44% new French oak, enjoy this medium-bodied, forward, moderately concentrated, yet balanced effort over the coming 7-8 years. These first-rate efforts are made by Scott Shirley, who made wine in Napa Valley for 13 years before coming to Paso Robles. The focus here is on the Bordeaux varieties, and they do a fabulous job with them. Tel. (800) 726-0049; www.justinwine.com
