I get the sense the Grenache is coming through on the mix of black, blue and purple fruit. A softening from oak is present. Never really seemed to pick up steam or depth.

From Eric Jensen at Booker, we had this after that bottle of Understory I just posted. Can’t recall too many details except to say that it was excellent but likely just past peak. If you have this in your cellar, I’d recommend popping the cork within the next few years.

Oublie is French for ‘forget’. Maybe that means you forget your troubles and cares and just enjoy this wine. Have an unforgettable night with this wonderful wine!

2013 Vintage. 15.3% Alcohol. 46% Grenache, 34% Mourvèdre, 20% Counoise. Extra barrel age wood is finally integrating. Loved it.

Something is odd about this wine - it has a perfect nose and balance on the palate and the right flavor notes for a Grenache but it’s not big at all - it’s subdued and elegant. I enjoyed it but it played tricks on my mind which was expecting a bigger wine!

WOW. OMFG. DAMN. What a wine. Clearly the best Booker I’ve ever had and it was Pop and Pour. Absolutely delicious

Smokey, earthy with delicious dark fruits. Perfect with Beth’s beef stew. Happy autumn!

Oh boy this one is so good! There is an earthiness that the Mourvèdre brings that is so compelling. Nice!

Drinking as young as it gets to see where it starts. This seems like a fruity Cote du Rhône. Ripe black fruits sitting in a dusty, dank barn. Tannins confiscate your frontal palette. Shows great potential and already great drinking.
