Booker Wines

The 2012 Vintage

I am extremely lucky and proud that Booker has such diverse soils and vineyard aspects that we can make several wines that differ so much that one might think are from totally different growing regions. Think about it…how many lists are you on that every bottle you open tastes like the one before? My goal has been to make a diverse group of wines that will allow you to drink no matter the occasion, even if there is no food involved. In 2012 we accomplished this. I am still searching for the best way to have my wines ready for consumption immediately, while also being age worthy. Our wines will continue to grow in that aspect, but usually wines built to age do not drink well early on because of some chemistry issues like acid, PH and VA. In this vintage, I believe all of the wines will mature early, except for Oublie and Ripper, which should be held until at least, September. In fact, I believe the 2012 Fracture, Vertigo and Remnant are more ready now than the same wines from 2011.

There you have it, time to start drinking!!
