About 2017 Booker Ripper Grenache:

Ripper is the wine that put Booker on the map. Always one of the world’s most critically acclaimedGrenaches, Ripper is only the best Grenache of the vintage. Bright red fruit, but more compote stylethan jammy, always with a seamless midpalate

Tasting Notes:

At first glance this is not a Grenache for the faint-hearted. Aromatically it is jumping out of the glass with mineral notes and rosehip, redcurrant and red cherry fruits. Living up to its namesake it displays abundant bright fruit acidity continuing the theme of bright and wholesome red fruits.

Barrel Selection:

2017 Booker Ripper Grenache was aged for 18 MONTHS IN 50% CONCRETE 25% NEW FRENCH OAK, 25% NEUTRAL FRENCH OAK

Growing Notes:

Their 100 acre certified organic estate vineyard produces a myriad of different wines with an emphasis on Rhône varietals.

Booker is dedicated to the pursuit of farming perfection, constantly striving to find the perfect balance in the vineyard through certified organic farming practices as well as methods that draw inspiration from biodynamics. The westside of Paso Robles terroir is unique, boasting extreme vertical slopes and calcareous soils. Limestone beds with very little water make it hard to believe that anything could grow, yet the Booker estate produces some of the greatest wine grapes on earth.  

Winemaking Notes:

100% GRENACHE (WHOLE BERRY). In the cellar, the owner’s job as winemakers is to uncover the vintage Mother Nature gave them and showcase the quality of the fruit.  It may mean a soft winemaking touch to craft an elegant wine, or pushing the limits to create a beast.  Regardless, the end goal is to produce legendary wines.  Wines that over-deliver and are delicious.  No arrogance, not confusing, only yummy.

About The Winery:

At Booker Wines, the purpose is simple: to thoughtfully farm and craft world class wines that leave a small footprint but make a big impact. Their 100 acre certified organic estate vineyard produces a myriad of different wines with an emphasis on Rhône varietals. Booker wines are in limited production and often sell out to our wine club upon release.

The name Booker comes from the two orphan brothers, Claude and Dick Booker, who had purchased the land in the late 1920’s. By the turn of the century the Booker brothers had acquired over 1,200 acres on Paso’s Westside. They dedicated their lives to being great farmers and humanitarians, leaving 100% of their estate to charity when they passed, Dick in 1990 and Claude in 2000.

Eric and Lisa Jensen purchased 100 acres of the property in 2001 with the intent of growing the best fruit for some of the best wineries in the area. After making wine with Justin Smith (of Saxum) for five years and Stephan Asseo (of L’Aventure Wines) for two years the Jensens decided it was time to create their own expression with Booker Vineyard. The 2005 Vintage was Booker Vineyard’s first release with the wines being made by founder Eric Jensen. The vineyard received organic certification in April of 2021.
