Booker Vineyard
RLF Paso Robles Red Blend
Really good fruit that will evolve favorably over the next 5 years, but let's face it; it's a 2012 and I'm thirsty now.

Aug 6th, 2015Thanks @Zack Geers for sharing this wine. Very silky and elegant, beautiful aromatics of both ripe red and dark fruit as well as floral characteristics, concentrated complex flavor but not a ton of grip, couldn't drink enough of this wine. (And yes we are playing catan)

Nov 20th, 20202.5 hour decant. Wonderful aromatics. Olive tapenade, graphite, herbs. Blackberry cobbler. A bit jammier on the palate than I remember. 3-5 years left in it.

Mar 1st, 2016Cmon, I didn't even get my wine up before NY scored...booooooo!
Ok, this is about as domestic red as it gets, lets do this. Hey and we score to tie! Good luck already #rockthered #purpledrank
Big and rich, but restrained in a way too. This isn't a huge fruit bomb at 13.7%. Pretty smooth tannins, still big and present, but they're silkier than I was expecting. Raspberry, strawberry, cherry, subtle smoke, hint of vanilla?, tasty! See, I like purple drank :)

Don't know this wine? Worth finding. Grenache blend that springs bright black rasberry, licorice, mild oak, hint of caramel, but it's all about the finish, layered, complex, and lingering for a good minute. I need to buy more.
