About My Favorite Neighbor 2018 Red Blend, Harvey & Harriet, Paso Robles
Winemaker for Booker Vineyards, Eric Jensen launched My Favorite Neighbor in tribute to winemaker Stephan Asseo of L’Aventure Winery who was his neighbor and helped make him the winemaker he is today. The Westside Hills of Paso Robles are clay soil vineyards amazingly similar to those found in Napa and Bordeaux. And these special sites are farmed meticulously by the farmers who have become his Favorite Neighbors. With their dedication to the land, they are able to craft world class wine without any shortcuts or compromises.
This wine is named for his parents, Harvey and Harriet, and this 2018 is the latest release. Jeb Dunnuck scored this 94 points saying "Moving to the reds, the entry-level Harvey and Harriet is always made in a richer, softer style compared to the classic My Favorite Neighbor cuvée. The 2018 offers a big, juicy bouquet of crème de cassis and jammy blackberries interwoven with lots of tobacco, cedar pencil, and earthy, foresty aromas and flavors. This ripe yet medium to full-bodied, polished, elegant beauty will drink nicely for at least a decade."
The Wine Advocate scored this 93-95+ saying "The barrel sample of 2018 Harvey and Harriet is made up of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Syrah, 14% Petite Sirah, 10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot, aging in 75% new French oak. Deep ruby-black in color, it has a very layered nose with aromas of exotic spices, crème de cassis, blackcurrant bud, tar and tilled black soil with hints of violet, lilac, cardamom and baking spices. The medium to full-bodied palate is silky and has a great interplay of fruit and spice. It has a firm, pleasantly chalky frame and just enough freshness, finishing long with a youthful cloaking of oak spice."
