Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2012 Booker "Oublié 24" Paso Robles Rhône Blend ((93-95RP), (92-94VN)). Wine Advocate: "Slightly more savory and rich than the straight Oublie release, the 2012 Oublie 24 gives up more bouquet garni, black fruits and ground herbs to go with a full-bodied, fabulously concentrated feel on the palate. It too has a southern Rhone-like feel and should drink nicely on release and evolve gracefully for 7-8 years. (JD)" (08/2014)

Booker Vineyard is farmed biodynamically. They believe this practice keeps them in touch with their vineyard and forces them to perceive it as a living, breathing entity. Biodynamic farming follows the beliefs of Rudolf Steiner, who promoted a holistic approach, describing how all things on the farm (including soil, plants and livestock) are interrelated. Like many, they were skeptical of the concept at first. Eventually they came to realize, if these farming practices are good enough for some of the most discriminating wineries of the world then why not give it a try. Thus far, biodynamic farming has proven to increase the overall health and balance of their vineyard, as well as their team working within it.

“Dark red cherry, plum, smoke, mint, tobacco and cedar are some of the many notes that blossom in the 2012 Oublié 24. Pliant, expressive and nuanced, the 2012 is above all else a wine of pure silkiness. There is a lot to like here. Next to the straight Oublié, the 24 is a bit more seamless, vibrant and perfumed. (AG)” (07/2014)
