Vineyard & Profile
Booker’s “Fracture” is widely considered one of California’s benchmark Syrahs. Grown in the calcareous soils of Paso Robles, this wine takes its name from the way limestone fractures beneath the vineyard—a geological trait that contributes to its distinctive minerality. Only the most opulent, softest Syrah barrels are selected for this bottling, creating a wine of immense depth, density, and elegance. The 2019 vintage is a powerhouse, delivering Booker’s signature inky richness with a polished finish.
