SAXUM BOOKER VINEYARD 2005

Paso Robles.
2 x wrinkled & peeling labels. 3 x cracked wax capsules.

A blend of 92% Syrah and 8% Grenache, the 2005 Booker Vineyard is the debut vintage of this 400-case cuvee produced from a hillside vineyard situated on the west side of Highway 101. It exhibits plenty of crushed rock, sweet black fruit, and underbrush/forest floor characteristics along with sweet tannin and a structured, muscular personality similar to a northern Rhone. Big and powerful yet precise and well-delineated, it should drink nicely for 10-15 years. The bottled 2005s are all performing well. June 2008 WA 94

3 bts.    per lot $400 - $600

Realised: $450
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
