The steep hillside vineyards yield little water and thus, most of the acreage is dry farmed and all the grapes must be hand harvested. Soils are a very important ingredient to their wines' success. Painstaking care is exercised in matching the extremely varied soils to the varietals to coax the truest expression of each varietal's character and complexity.

The vineyards are continuously being updated. Currently, some areas are being replanted to expand Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc acreage using resistant rootstock and French clones to enhance the choice of Bordeaux varietals for their ISOSCELES program.

ISOSCELES is Justin's flagship wine. It is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, and is made exclusively from estate vineyard grapes.

State-of-the-art vineyard management techniques include vertical trellising, special resistant root stock and clonal selection, canopy thinning, crop load management, and organic farming to assure the highest quality fruit. Whole cluster pressing, extended maceration, barrel fermenting, native yeasts, and gravity racking are just a few examples of the techniques that make JUSTIN wines stand out.
