"Leading off the barrel samples, the 2017 Ripper boasts a fresh, vibrant style (this wine always seems to put on weight over its élevage) as well as classic Grenache notes of kirsch, blackberries, ground herbs, and rose petals. It’s a beautiful, elegant, seamless Grenache in the making. Eric Jensen’s Booker Vineyards continues to make a ripe, sexy, pedal-to-the-metal syle of wine and these latest 2016s don’t disappoint."
