J Bookwalter "Conflict" Red Blend

Suave and complex with classical aromatics of currants and dark berries married to new French oak and savory earthiness, this wine provides abundant pleasure now. Greeted initially with aromas of currants, dark cherry, red fruit, however as the wine opens more subtle notes surface - sage and dried herb, notes of violet, and a persistent notes of coffee bean. The palate is soft and supple, with a medium acidity - typical of Columbia Valley. Flavors of bright red fruit, blackberry bramble, bayleaf, and toasted oak. This rich wine will age for a decade or two, enjoyable with a host of foods throughout those seasons.

J. Bookwalter has grown from one of Washington’s oldest wineries into one of Pacific Northwest’s most recognized boutique wine brands. Their wines are wrapped in fun literary themes - a play on the family name - and because a portion of their revenue goes to supporting literacy in eastern Washington.
