Booker Vineyard, Fracture, 2021

The name Fracture is a tribute to the Booker estate’s limestone soils, which cause the ground to fracture rather than crumble when under duress. Limestone soils are found in many of the world’s great winegrowing regions, and they help drive the powerful character of this namesake wine. The 2021 Fracture displays a complex nose of blueberries, iodine and leather. Velvety textures unfold with flavors of kola nut and forest floor, all finishing with breathtaking poise and structure.
