Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2009 Fracture (Syrah) is super-ripe and boisterous in its blackberries, blueberries, creme de cassis and sweet spices. It shows striking inner perfume, layers of radiant fruit and a positively explosive finish punctuated with tar, smoke and a host of dark aromas and flavors. Simply put, this is a striking wine. The 2009 Fracture saw 80% new barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2019.

Wine Spectator
Dense and intense, this is marked by a complex range of flavors accented by a minty edge. A muscle-bound youngster, with vivid blackberry, wild berry, spice and tobacco notes, remaining tightly wound yet holding onto a tight focus. Best from 2013 through 2023.

The name Booker comes from the two orphan brothers Claude and Dick Booker who had owned the land, as well as hundreds more acres on Paso's Westside. The Booker brothers were Paso's favorite sons, dedicating their lives to being great farmers and humanitarians. Aside from lending their farming knowledge and manual labor to neighbors and those in need, they were the area's biggest philanthropists, leaving 100% of their estate to charity when they passed.
At Booker Vineyard we have dedicated our lives to farming perfection. We are constantly striving to find perfect balance in our vineyard through sustainable farming practices and methods. Beginning in the spring of 2010 we began our venture into the world of Biodynamics. Our wines are always 100% estate fruit and are a true reflection of the calcareous and salicious shale hillsides provided by our Westside Paso Robles vineyard.
