2016 Booker "Fulldraw" & "The Ripper" — Paso Robles Horizontal Tasting Lot
Bid on this 2-bottle tasting lot; including 1-bottle of 2016 Booker "Fulldraw" Paso Robles Rhone Blend (93JD) and 1-bottle of 2016 Booker "The Ripper" Paso Robles Grenache (97JD, 94JS, 93WS). Of the 2016 Booker "The Ripper" Paso Robles Grenache, Jeb Dunnuck writes: "The 2016 Ripper reminds me of a top vintage of Marcoux Vieilles Vignes cuvée from Châteauneuf du Pape with its huge nose of kirsch, blackberries, ground herbs, blueberries, graphite, and melted licorice. This beauty is full-bodied and powerful, yet also elegant, seamless, and graceful on the palate, with fine tannins and a huge finish. It’s an incredible Grenache. Eric Jensen’s Booker Vineyards continues to make a ripe, sexy, pedal-to-the-metal syle of wine and these latest 2016s don’t disappoint." (11/2018)

Jeb Dunnuck
“The last vintage of this cuvée as these grapes will be moved into the Oublie cuvée, the 2016 Fulldraw Vineyard offers serious Syrah notes (I don’t know the blend) in its chocolate, jammy blackberry, licorice, and crushed rock aromas and flavors. This is a big, rich, brooding red that packs serious amounts of fruit and texture without ever going over the top. Eric Jensen’s Booker Vineyards continues to make a ripe, sexy, pedal-to-the-metal syle of wine and these latest 2016s don’t disappoint. (JD) 93+” (11/2018)

James Suckling
“A ripe Grenache, sporting dark, dried blackberries and plums, set against an extensive backdrop of vanilla and nutmeg. Full-bodied yet linear and driven. Touch of wood at the end.” (03/2019)

Wine Spectator
“Densely structured yet blanketed in polished veneer, offering bold blackberry, smoky pepper, garrigue and river stone accents that take on speed toward broad-shouldered tannins. (TF)” (03/2019)
