A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. This was the Inaugural Vintage from Eric Jensen. Eric made wine w/ JustinSmith/Saxum & Steven d'Asseo/L'Aventure for several yrs, afore starting his own wnry. Booker comes from the names of two brothers who had large holdings there in WestSide Paso.
I liked this wine quite a lot upon release. But, like Saxum, the Booker wines developed a cult-following and the prices rose considerably and they dropped off my radar.
