Justin
The Justin Winery was established in 1981 when Justin and Deborah Baldwin purchased land on California’s central coast. Within a year they had turned the land into a vineyard and had begun to produce the first Justin wines. The harvest began with the traditional red Bordeaux grape varietals Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Since the first harvest the Justin winery has developed a profile of world-class estate made wines. The philosophy behind the family business is to remain an industry leader in the production of Californian Central coast estate wines.
