Booker Vineyard Ripper Grenache 2016
Grenache (Cannonau, Garnacha, Tintilla) | California | United States
This wine is so sexy and seductive! Just a pure, feminine wine that is true to its variety. At its best from Booker, Ripper is from a North facing block and is not a massive, dark, heavy wine. It is a bowl full of red fruits with the perfect amount of acid and a generous amount of mid-palate weight.
Booker Vineyard is located on Paso Robles' Westside, immediately joining the famous Stephan Vineyards that produce L'Aventure Wines. The high-density vineyard is mostly Rhone varietals planted on steep hillsides of calcareous shale. The name Booker comes from the two orphan brothers Claude and Dick Booker who had owned the land, as well as hundreds more acres on Paso's Westside.
