A full-bodied Paso Robles male served at the White House
Paso Robles is a tranquil wine-producing region where time flows slowly. The wine that made Justin Vineyard's name known to the world is "Isoceles". In 2000, Wine Spectator magazine ranked it 6th among the top 100 wines in the world . Isoceles means "isosceles", and is based on the triangular winery logo.
Since the first vintage in 1987, it has been produced without compromise using the same manufacturing method as the representative chateau of Bordeaux. It has produced over 30 years of vintage to the world, and its ability was even served at a dinner at the White House.
Deep ruby color, very aromatic, complex and structured wine. Lively red fruit, ripe black fruit and cassis. Vanilla, cinnamon spice, licorice, the scent of opening a cigar box filled with high-end cigars, and French oak barrels.
Full-bodied, the mouthfeel is red and black black fruit with roasted spice. Sweet tobacco, pungent cedar, graphite and a hint of cocoa appear, solid tannins, and a long finish with fruit and spice skeletons.
Ranked 6th in the world in the 1997 vintage. The White House is your table tonight with the wine that was also served at the White House.

Winemaker Notes:
Dark ruby purple core with a black hue, lighter at the rim and more ruby in color. Moderate plus viscosity with moderate tearing and light staining on the glass. Very aromatic, complex and layered with vibrant red cherry, ripe black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, vanilla and cinnamon spice, with camphor and licorice, savory cigar box notes and an attractive, youthful toasted oak underpinning. Dry and full-bodied, layered with red and black cherry, cassis and complex baking spice on the entry. Sweet tobacco and classic savory pencil-like notes of cedar and graphite with a little cocoa emerge on the crisp mid-palate with firm chewy tannins lasting into a long, complex finish that shows a parade of fruit and spice balanced with constantly evolving textures and savory notes.
Food Pairings:
