“Best Cabernet in Paso Robles”

Reviewed May 26, 2012 NEW

Just loved the tasting samples, they included their award winning Isosceles Cabernet Sauvignon. They have a nice choices for the wine club and a nice menu to enjoy a glass or two outside overlooking the vineyard. It's a bit of a drive from Paso Robles but it's worth it. More

“Good wines, pretty views”

Reviewed May 23, 2012 NEW

The wines here are good but the atmosphere seems to have gotten cheesier over time. If you decide to go, do the tastings and sit out front on the lawn or by the pool to avoid the Disney-esque interior. The zins are really great! More

“JUSTIN Winery Guest Chef Dinner”

Reviewed May 22, 2012 NEW

If you haven't been to JUSTIN Winery, take the gorgeous drive through the hills to the award-winning tasting room.

“Great wine or simply a lifestyle brand?”

Reviewed May 22, 2012 NEW

There is a lot of hype around Justin Vineyards. Large tasting rooms are complimented by a well stocked and organize selection of their wines. Justin offers tours, has an onsite restaurant with a famous TV chef, and the staff are well trained on presenting the wines and pairing them. Does Justin live up to the hype? Overall yes, there are... More

Our new owners believe strongly in Paso Robles as a producer of high quality Cabernet Sauvignon; I see no need to worry about a change in quality. If anything, it will only get better! Happy to discuss with you further if you have any... More

“Beautiful drive”

Reviewed May 6, 2012

This is one you have to really want to visit - it is one of the furthest from the central Paso Robles area, but the drive is beautiful. I received a prompt response to a question I emailed prior to visiting. The tasting fee is $10, waived with a $50 purchase. The pours were adequate to share a tasting, which... More

“Very good wines at very high prices”

Reviewed April 25, 2012

We visited this winery on the strength of having a friend bring us a bottle of their wine for dinner and it was excellent. This was the third winery we visited this day and while the wine was very good, the prices seemed excessive. More

Thank you for your feedback. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed our wines, but sorry to hear you feel our pricing is excessive. Our wine making process is very hands on - we hand pick, hand sort, and small barrel age our wines which is something that will be difficult to find elsewhere at our price points. More
