The story of Justin Vineyards & Winery is inextricably linked to the vision of Justin Baldwin. In 1981, Baldwin, a true pioneer, recognized the untapped potential of Paso Robles as a premier wine-growing region. He planted a 160-acre property with the major Bordeaux varietals, laying the foundation for what would become a celebrated estate vineyard and winery. At a time when only a handful of other vineyards dotted the landscape, Baldwin's foresight and dedication helped shape Paso Robles into the thriving wine scene it is today.
Justin's focus for nearly four decades has been on providing quality wines that respect their origin, express varietal character, and provide value. This commitment to excellence has earned the winery a prestigious reputation, culminating in Wine Spectator ranking one of Justin's red blends as the 6th best wine in the world out of 100 wines in 1997. Today, Justin Winery is a family-owned and operated establishment, crafting estate-grown and produced wines that embody the essence of the Paso Robles appellation.
