Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2013 Booker "Vertigo" Paso Robles Rhône Blend (97RP, 94VN). Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Another wine coming in at the top (past actually) of its barrel rating, the 2013 Vertigo is comprised of 45% Syrah, 29% Mourvedre and 26% Grenache, all of which saw 40-50% new French oak. This full-bodied, concentrated, beautifully pure and sexy GSM blend offers bombastic notes of creme de cassis, vanilla bean, licorice and crushed violets. Already complex and hard to resist, it should evolve nicely for 7-8 years. It is without a doubt the best vintage ever for this wine! (JD)" (08/2015)

Vivid purple. Heady scents of red berry liqueur, candied plum and incense, with notes of vanilla and smoky minerals emerging with air. Shows superb clarity to its palate-caressing raspberry and candied lavender flavors. This blend deftly marries richness and vivacity, finishing with solid punch and fine-grained tannins that come in slowly. (JR)
