March 6, 2023 - Manages to simultaneously have a rich round feel and nice pop of acidity. A big white.
April 3, 2021 - Deep yellow gold which sparkled beautifully in the glass. This deserved the decant I gave it (yes some whites definitely benefit), opening over 2.5 hrs to beautiful smoky buttered caramel and wild floral aromas. Flavors are complex and tropical/pineapple with a streak of creamy salted caramel, Jeb's TN (96) seems on point. This is the type of white one can enjoy with heartier dishes and would even hold its own w/steak. Suspect additional bottle age will integrate further and CT window may be shorter than reality, could see it lasting a decade+ with this much structure and elegance. Well done 93-95+
February 13, 2021 - Yellow golden color with nose of pineapple, peach with a hint of pine. Medium bodied with nicely balanced acidity. Clean tropical fruit flavors with a nice finish. A nice white wine blend. Very enjoyable.
September 16, 2020 - Yum!!!
August 31, 2020 - Alittle too hot for me on the palate otherwise not bad.
April 10, 2020 - medium golden yellow, prominent tearing; quince, white peach, pear, white flowers, buttered brioche; stone fruits, mineral notes, waxy mouthfeel; full bodied, good acidity, 14.8% ABV; made from predominantly Roussanne with a touch of Viognier and small amounts of Chardonnay, Clairette Blanche, Genache Blanc, and Marsanne fermented and aged in a combination of concrete tank and new and used French oak barrels, the only white Booker makes, winemakers Eric and Lisa Jensen worked with Justin Smith at Saxum and Stephan Asseo of L’Aventure before starting their own label in 2005; $50
January 18, 2020 - Loved the pronounced butterscotch and stone fruits from the Marsanne in this blend.
November 23, 2019 - This was not as good as previous vintages. There was a little edge to it as opposed to the round smoothness of previous years. Huge Booker fan overall.
September 21, 2019 - Blend of Rhone varietals, Roussanne and Viognier. Apples, pears, honeysuckle, and vanilla, but with some astringency from the Viognier. Interesting but not sure these varietals are my favorite.
August 20, 2019 - Lovely Paso white with honey vanilla nose and vibrant palate of tropical fruit and river rocks. Delicious from refrigerator to room temperature.
