The medium to full-bodied, blue/purple-colored 2008 Vertigo (50% Syrah, 25% Grenache, and 25% Mourvedre) is prodigious. A stunning perfume of red and black fruits, incense, graphite, crushed rocks, and spring flowers is followed by a complex wine exhibiting fabulous concentration, a full-bodied mouthfeel, a multilayered, impressive texture, and a 40+ second finish. Already approachable, it should drink well for 7-8 years. Despite its lofty alcohol content of 15.5%, there is not a trace of heat. Booker Vineyard has quickly established itself as one of the top sites in the Paso Robles region for Rhone varietals. This 40-acre vineyard is planted in limestone soils, just west of Highway 101, and every wine I have tasted since their debut 2005 vintage has been unapologetically Californian in flavor, exuberance, personality, and soul. The current and upcoming releases continue Booker’s Midas touch with these varietals. The red wines are nearly off the chart in terms of their aromatic complexity with stacked and packed personalities as well as brilliant balance.Tel. (805) 237-7367; Fax (805) 237-7368
