Booker Vineyard Vertigo 2015

Professional Ratings

• 95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
  Comprised of 48% Syrah, 35% Grenache and 17% Mourvedre, the 2015 GSM Vertigo has a medium garnet-purple color and nose of crème de cassis, blackberry pie and licorice with touches of dried Provence herbs, chocolate box and black pepper. Full-bodied and nicely played with firm, ripe, rounded tannins and a lively backbone supporting the generous, bright fruit, it finishes long and spicy.

  A blend of 48% Syrah, 35% Grenache and 37% Mourvèdre, the 2015 Vertigo is another blockbuster 2015 from Jensen. It’s deep ruby color is followed by a sweet bouquet of crème de cassis, black raspberries, strawberries, violets, and chocolaty oak. It’s a round, supple, incredibly sexy GSM that has full-bodied richness, loads of power and depth, yet also shows the more charming, forward style of the 2015 vintage in Paso Robles. Drink it anytime over the coming decade.

  Shows intensity and pinpoint focus, with blackberry, crushed stone and licorice notes that pick up speed as this powers toward firm tannins. Hands off for now. Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre. Best from 2019 through 2027.
