Booker Vineyard
RLF Paso Robles Pinot Noir
I think this is the first Pinot from Booker - it's a masculine fruit forward style that reminds me of the Meiomi/Belle Glos style

Oct 18th, 2017Interesting. Very smoky and meaty. The most Syrah-like Pinot I've ever experienced. Not something I'd choose every day, but fun for a change.

Aug 26th, 2017Received from allocation and my first time having. Overripe blackberries and cinnamon on the nose. Blackberry cobbler and stewed fruit mid. Jammy and juicy. Light Finish that keeps you wanting more. Should have decanted as so young, but hoping it will open up significantly while we're at dinner. I would say hold on these bottles.

Apr 15th, 2017A rich and deep Pinot, yet still shows excellent Pinot character; cinnamon and baking spices along with creamy cherry cola notes

Their first pinot is worth a try, I'll definitely buy again,

Holy crap ... serious extraction & made in the booker “hear me roar” hi volume posture. Not for the meek and delicate Pinot lovers.
Drink it now. While enjoyable at this time, can’t see this style improving with age... put a slight chill on it.
