A dense, well-structured wine with balanced acidity and an abundance of black fruits and well-integrated barrel spice on the palate. This wine will benefit from at least 3-5 years in the bottle and have much more to give with more time.

All the fruit was hand sorted and destemmed without crushing into three-ton and five-ton stainless steel fermenters, plus two open top oak fermenters. After a five-day cold soak, the fermenters warmed naturally and were punched down twice a day at the onset of fermentation. After the fermentations reached peak temperature (92° F in the cap), the tanks were aerated once a day. The new wine was pressed at dryness, settled for 5 days, then racked to barrels. Barrel aged 14 months in 30% new French oak.

Justice Vineyard is certified organically grown. The 2022 Justice Vineyard designate comes from six blocks spanning the northern section of the vineyard.
