2010 Booker "Alchemist" Paso Robles Red Blend very composed and complex inThe density of Syrah and the spice grilled herb notes typical of Cabernet Sauvignon meld together in the estates 2010 Alchemist, a wine of fabulous depth and overall harmony. Layers of sweet, perfumed fruit flow effortlessly to a deep, resonant finish laced with the essence of graphite and plums. The blend is 80% Syrah, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot, aged in neutral oak. (AG)
