He led the family’s move into winemaking in 1995, and further exploration of Paso began. In 2000, Austin created the Austin Hope label, making very small productions of Rhône varietals. These wines are produced from vines grown at the family’s estate property, where soils and climate have similarities with Rhône Valley vineyards. They remain small yet extraordinary productions. Each bottling holds onto a unique intensity and softness, expressing a special side of Paso. Today, Austin is showcasing an even greater sweep of the Paso region and expressing a similar richness with a recently released Cabernet Sauvignon. The source of the wine is far-reaching within the appellation - a most discerning group of vineyards located on gently sloping hillsides and hidden pockets across the domain, providing dimension to the Cabernet varietal. The wine has a bold structure of lush, velvety tannins and an unmistakable elegance.

It is best known for its full-bodied, concentrated red wines made from the Bordeaux varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The Justin estate is made up of four vineyards, planted on limestone-rich soils and dotted around the Paso Robles region. The first vines were planted in 1981, after Justin Baldwin purchased the 160 acre (65 hectare) plot that is now the Founder's Vineyard. Justin Vineyards has expanded since, adding sites with good sunlight exposure and cooling Pacific influences – terroir that is well-suited to the Bordeaux varieties. The first Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon wines were produced from the 1986 vintage, and the first commercial vintage of the Justin Reserve – a Bordeaux blend – was released the following year. This wine was renamed Isosceles and is today Justin Vineyards' flagship wine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49700835328138,"sku":null,"price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/files\/30_c20dfa75-0cee-4da4-a324-25f23d73d7d0.jpg?v=1783544931"},{"product_id":"2024-susana-balbo-crios-torrontes","title":"2024 | Susana Balbo | Crios Torrontes","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhite Wine: 2024 | Susana Balbo | Crios Torrontes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA vibrant and aromatic white wine from Argentina, the 2024 Susana Balbo Crios Torrontés showcases the distinctive floral character and freshness of the Torrontés grape. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.

As with many other estates in Argentina, it is also known for its Malbec. The winery is located in Luján de Cuyo, with vineyard plots in various subregions of the Uco Valley. The estate was formed in 1999, by which time Balbo had already amassed more than 20 years' experience as a consultant winemaker. The range of wines is headed by the Nosotros line, which comprises a Malbec, the Francis – 50 percent Malbec, 30 percent Cabernet Sauvignon with Cabernet Franc and Tannat – and the Sofita cuvée (75 percent Malbec with Cabernet Sauvignon and a little Cabernet Franc). The Susana Balbo Signature series represents a personal selection with a stated emphasis on aromatics, complexity and balance. This tier includes the Brioso red and white (the former a Cabernet Sauvignon-based Bordeaux Blend and the latter a combination of Semillón, Torrontés and Sauvignon Blanc) Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec in dry and late-harvest versions, and both a barrel-fermented and late-harvest Torrontés.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49700852367498,"sku":null,"price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/files\/31_dfb33edd-338a-4041-a465-3ea29b3cc6eb.jpg?v=1783545235"},{"product_id":"emeritus-vineyards-hallberg-blanc-nv","title":"Emeritus Vineyards | Hallberg Blanc - NV","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhite Wine: Emeritus Vineyards | Hallberg Blanc - NV\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA distinctive white wine crafted from Pinot Noir grapes, Hallberg Blanc showcases the elegance and freshness of Emeritus Vineyards’ cool-climate Russian River Valley vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.
