Sometimes a deal comes along and you can’t believe the value. Bookwalter Bookmark is that kind of wine. Clive, Northwest Wine Anthem, raved about the Bookmark last fall.
“This under $10 wine contains lots from the 2005 vintage for pete’s sake, it’s a blend of mostly Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet and other varietals comprising 11% of the wine. It’s mostly 2008 and in descending order, 09, 10 and 05 through 07. This is a sweetheart deal. It’s the kinda deal you typically have to know someone to get. The wine is like sneaking into a party you have no business being at. You’re getting to experience something you really have no business experiencing. The wine unloads on you aromatically and it’s all that barrel age, you’ll get toasty chocolate notes and mocha that you probably don’t deserve for $9. The wine is rounded and full bodied and it continues to bring you mocha and a smokiness that makes one think they may need to break out that smoking jacket. But who are you kidding? Only rich people have those, you paid $9 for this remember“

Keith Cedergreen, winemaker, describes it as:
“30+ year old vines erupt from the vineyard with telephone pole trunks supporting a gnarled canopy. This acid driven Chenin leaps from the glass with aromas of D’Anjou pear and waves breaking on rocks. While it’s stored and stirred on the lees to promote mouth feel and creaminess.”
