Booker Vineyard
Remnant Tempranillo Blend
Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
2012 Vintage. Will cellar these longer as there was a bit of tannin attacking teeth that should dissipate with age. Even so, wow wine.

Better than I remember! Blackberries, raspberry, mild spices, savory elements full feel and acidity. Great balance, with a light kiss of oak.

A little bit rustic with the heavy tempranillo which adds a nice level of complexity. The petit verdot really shows at this stage too. Fruit forward Paso style, but yet the alcohol is in check at below 14%. Very interesting wine.

May 6th, 20142012 Vintage. 13.8% Alcohol. Not a PNP as it started out with a strange menthol and herbaceous bouquet. Let sit and absorb oxygen for a half hour and that all dissipated. Not a big fruit bomb, but still enjoyable and certainly an unusual blend.

Dec 9th, 20192012 Vintage. 13.8% Alcohol. 35% Tempranillo, 25% Petit Verdot, 33% Syrah, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon. Better tannin integration almost a year from last bottle with pop and pour, but better second day so decant or age another year.
