"The 2010 Remnant is gorgeous and utterly refined from the very first taste. Dark red cherries, plums, incense, mint and spices are some of the many notes that jump from the glass in this delineated, fragrant red. The appropriately named Remnant is 60% Syrah, 20% Tempranillo, 11% Mourvedre, 5% Grenache and 4% Counoise, all what Jensen calls âsuperâ press juice, which is the part of the press many winemakers donât even use in their final blends because the level of tannins and other solids is higher than in free-run juice. In other words, Remnant is essentially a wine made from leftovers. Frankly, this is a bit of a miracle in the glass, but everything works together beautifully. That can only mean that Booker is a great site, and Eric Jensen knows how to coax the very best from his vines. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018."
