Booker Vineyard Fracture 28 (1.5 Liter Magnum) 2007
Syrah/Shiraz from Central Coast, California
winemaker's notes:
The one thing you can count on with Fracture is its consistency year to year. Fracture has intense fruit up front, showing soft lines and gorgeous french oak integration, with a velvety mid-palate showing notes of dense, dark fruit and loamy earth. The finish is extremely long, displaying cocoa and dried herbs with beautiful structure and acidity.
alcohol by volume:
16.1%
critical acclaim:
"The 2007 Fracture (100% Syrah) is gorgeous. It is a powerful wine with 16.1% alcohol, but none of that shows through the cascade of blackberry, charcoal, subtle smoke, espresso, and pen ink notes. Superb fruit purity along with full-bodied power, and a long, heady finish with no hard edges suggest it will drink well for a decade or more."
94 Points
The Wine Advocate
"Opaque purple. Sexy aromas of candied dark berries, violet oil, incense and cola. Broad, expansive and sweet, offering lush blackcurrant and blueberry flavors and an exotic note of candied violet. This wine shows noteworthy depth but is almost shockingly energetic, with strong finishing spiciness and mineral cut."
94 Points
International Wine Cellar
"Gushes with dense, rich, plush dark fruits, with blackberry, blueberry, plum and huckleberry that's intense, structured and balanced, finishing with a strong return to the dark fruit themes."
