When cult favorite winemaker Eric Jensen of Booker Vineyard sets out to produce an affordable, food friendly wine, Paso Robles fans reap the rewards, the lush 95 pt. 2021 Harvey and Harriet White and opulent 93 pt. 2020 Harvey & Harriet Red named to honor his parents and expertly balancing fresh, bright fruit flavors and vibrant acidity for Paso fans seeking a terrific bargain to stock up on and enjoy often.
Leaving his career as a successful broker and concert promoter in Southern California, Eric Jensen purchased 100 acres west of Paso Robles in 2001 to grow grapes, becoming known for supplying top-quality fruit for A-list wineries including Saxum and L'Aventure before releasing his first Booker Vineyard wine. Gaining a loyal fan base and eventually earning a coveted #10 spot on the Wine Spectator's Top 100, Eric created the My Favorite Neighbor project as an ode to the mentorship of his neighbor Stephan Asseo of L'Aventure and his network of outstanding local growers, sourcing the grapes for the Harvey & Harriet blends from select nearby vineyards in San Luis Obispo. A blend of Albarino, Chardonnay, Viognier and Pinot Gris, the rich 95 pt. 2021 Harvey & Harriet White offers intensely aromatic fresh juicy fruit hinting of citrus and honey with a satin smooth finish and bright refreshing acidity, described by the Wine Advocate's Monica Larner as "a delicious yet serious white with alluring generosity that keeps you coming back for more." Aged for 18 months in 60% new French oak, the polished and elegant 93 pt. 2020 Harvey and Harriet Red is a dark-fruited blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with Syrah, Petite Sirah and small amounts of Petit Verdot, Cab Franc and Malbec offering lush, concentrated fruit with well-integrated tannins, made in a "richer, softer style" according to Jeb Dunnuck and built to enjoy over the next few years.
Described as producing wines in "a ripe, sexy, pedal-to-the-metal style" by Jeb Dunnuck "that would run two to three times the cost if they were from Napa Valley," Eric Jensen's appealing 95 pt. 2021 Harvey & Harriet White and 93 pt. 2020 Harvey & Harriet Red overdeliver on his pledge to create cult-quality wines priced for every day enjoyment as an homage to his parents, two enticing blends guaranteed to turn Paso Robles fans seeking an outstanding value into Harvey & Harriet fans as well. |
