Detailed Description
Detailed Description
Deep and mysterious at first sight, the 2018 vintage is rich and velvety on your palate. There is an interesting balance of earth and fruit, with traces of sweet beets, dark plums and chocolate. Though this silky wine will pair with anything, our thoughts are going to salty popcorn by the fire or Dutch Gouda cheese with some black truffle mustard.
Reviews:
- Jeb Dunnuck: Another magical wine, the 2018 Fracture is based on 100% Syrah brought up in new and used French oak. Deep purple-hued, with beautiful notes of crème de cassis, blackberries, vanilla bean, toasted spices, white flowers, and a hints of charcuterie, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, perfectly integrated oak, a rounded, lush mouthfeel, and a great finish.
- James Suckling: Dense and powerfully built, with crushed stone, smoked meat and blackberry flavors that build tannins toward a firm finish.
Producer Information
Booker Vineyard is a wine producer in Willow Creek District near the border of Templeton Gap District in Paso Robles, California. It makes a number of wines from Rhône Valley varieties with a focus on the red grapes Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. The estate covers roughly 30 hectares (72 acres) southwest of the city of Paso Robles. It was established in 2001 by Eric and Lisa Jensen who bought a section of property left from the Booker brothers' farm – a large tract of land first cultivated by local philanthropists Claude and Dick Booker in the 1920s. The Jensens started as growers supplying local winemakers and earned a reputation for the quality of their grapes. They sold to notable Paso Robles producers including Saxum Vineyards (who make the Booker Vineyard Red) and L'Aventure, before deciding to vinify some of their own fruit from 2005. Booker makes its wine entirely from estate-grown fruit but continues to sell to other producers as well. Booker farms predominantly red Rhône varieties with more than half the vineyard planted to Syrah. However, other grapes such as Tempranillo are planted in small quantities along with some white Rhône staples such as Roussanne, Viognier and Marsanne used in Booker's lone white bottling. Production is limited to roughly 4500 cases annually, most of which is sold through a mailing list.
