Justin Description
Aromatic lemon rind, tart citrus, and delicate jasmine blossom, with bitter almond and wet-stone minerality. Medium-bodied and dry on entry, with ripe pineapple, Bartlett pear, and lemon curd. The midpalate follows with honeydew melon, complemented by herbal notes of tarragon and fennel. The finish is elegant and fresh, with flavors of Granny Smith apple and bright, lingering acidity. With its balance of supple fruit, acidity, and texture, JUSTIN Central Coast Chardonnay pairs beautifully with a simple Caesar salad topped with shrimp. To highlight the wine's citrus and lean minerality, pair it with lemon chicken in a classic beurre blanc sauce.
Wine Spectator: 88 Points
Lemon curd, tangerine and pear flavors are juicy, smooth and direct, with details of wildflower honey and ginger that linger, as does a note of nutmeg. The flavors expand on the finish, with accents of kumquat and oolong tea.
