"The 2016 Ripper reminds me of a top vintage of Marcoux Vieilles Vignes cuvĂ©e from ChĂąteauneuf du Pape with its huge nose of kirsch, blackberries, ground herbs, blueberries, graphite, and melted licorice. This beauty is full-bodied and powerful, yet also elegant, seamless, and graceful on the palate, with fine tannins and a huge finish. Itâs an incredible Grenache. Eric Jensenâs Booker Vineyards continues to make a ripe, sexy, pedal-to-the-metal syle of wine and these latest 2016s donât disappoint."
