2021 Booker Harvey And Harriet Red Blend
Paso Robles
Tasting Notes
Harvey & Harriet Red Blend continues to deliver at a high level with dark, complex notes of blackberry, fig, and currant. Its deep ruby hue is accompanied by a palate driven by cocoa, spice, brown sugar, and leather. The incredible density, finely grained tannins, and bright finish that seems to go on forever make this wine the ultimate crowd pleaser.
Blend: 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Petit Verdot, 12% Syrah, 7% Petit Sirah, 7% Malbec, 2% Grenache, 2% Cabernet Franc
James Suckling 93 Points
About Booker Winery
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 owner Eric Jensen.
