94 points Jeb Dunnuck (Wine Advocate): "A new cuvee for me, the 2012 RLF (which is named after Eric’s father-in-law, Randy Lee Fannin, who died in a tragic incident in 2011) is a blend of 71% Grenache and 29% Syrah that was aged in a combination of used and new barrels. Tasting like a high-quality Chateauneuf du Pape, it offers perfumed black raspberry, framboise, crushed flowers, lavender and herbs de Provence aromas and flavors. This flows to full-bodied, silky and sexy wine that has impeccable balance, a rounded, supple texture and a great finish. It’s hard to resist now, and I see no reason to delay gratification either. (Aug 2014)"
Producer notes: "Grenache and Syrah blend. Booker's newest addition, RLF is meant to be a food-friendly, easy drinker. This wine is a change from the usual massive Booker wines, and like 'Ripper', RLF is a great companion to any meal. With a moderate price-point, this is a bottle to be consumed without guilt and to be shared any night of the week with a friend or neighbor."
