Vertigo

2020 Paso Robles Syrah, Mourvedre, Mourvèdre, Grenache Noir, Petite Sirah, Tannat

Booker Vertigo, a captivating red blend from the renowned Paso Robles region, masterfully showcases the complex interplay of Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache Noir, Petite Sirah, and Tannat. This vintage, crafted in 2020, presents a full-bodied experience that envelops the palate with its rich, deep red hue. The wine boasts high acidity, lending a vibrant liveliness that beautifully balances its flavor profile. The fruit intensity is pronounced, offering abundant notes of dark berries, plums, and a hint of spice, while the tannins are notable, providing structure and a satisfying mouthfeel. Despite its robust presence, the Booker Vertigo maintains a pleasantly dry finish, making it an exceptional choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
