2012 Booker "Remnant" Paso Robles Red Blend

Dark red cherry, plum, spices, new leather, menthol and grilled herbs take shape in the 2012 Remnant. In 2012, Jensen did not make his Cabernet Sauvignon-based My Favorite Neighbor, so much of that fruit ended up here. Hints of French oak add sweetness on the voluptuous, racy finish. The 2012 is an unusually soft Remnant with plenty of near and medium-term appeal. (AG)
