Community Tasting Note

• seijaro Likes this wine: 92 points

  August 18, 2019 - A bit unusual for Booker, kind of astringent and sharp. We liked it, but have to say we like other Booker offerings more than this one. We got raspberry and cranberry, not the usual tastes in a Syrah blend.
  
  9/12/19 Another bottle, much nicer than the last one -- 93-94. Smoother without the tartness and with bigger flavor. This is what Booker is spozed ta be.
  
  3/7/20 Last bottle, another 93. A nice Syrah blend, again big and full. Great with pizza. We just like Booker.

  BTW, we sampled our 2017 allocations, they are terrific. LOVED The Ripper, we are big Grenache fans and this is another good one.
