Bid on this 3-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2000 Justin "Isosceles" Paso Robles Bordeaux Blend (92CG), 1-bottle of 2001 Clos du Val "Oak Vineyard" Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon, and 1-bottle of 2002 Justin "Obtuse" Paso Robles Dessert Red. Of the 2000 Justin "Isosceles" Paso Robles Bordeaux Blend, Connoisseurs Guide writes: "78% Cabernet Sauvignon; 19% Cabernet Franc; 3% Merlot. Plump, polished and absolutely brimming with both ripe cherry fruitiness and lots of vanillin oak, this mouthfilling wine smacks vaguely of Merlot in its supple and so very outgoing manner. It has a few youthful edges yet to overcome, but its finishing trim of tannin and acidity in no way interferes with its fruity richness, and its fine sense of energy is likely to carry it forward for some half-dozen years of positive growth."

Brilliant ruby color, the 2000 Isosceles evolves in the glass, showing toasted oak, pencil lead, and caramel, combining with cherry, black currant and earthy components. Cedar and spice appear soon after the fruit, quickly rounded out by a delicate balance of acidity and medium-bodied tannins, and a lingering finish.

This is a true port-style wine made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Fermentation is stopped by the addition of a high-proof neutral grape brandy, leaving 7% natural grape sugar in the wine, which is then aged in older French oak barrels. Promising to pack a lot of flavor, it's not just for chocolate and dessert pairings—try it with a cheese plate!
