Winemaker Notes
Dark deep purple/red color introduces this ripe dark flavored wine. The Cabernet and oak are well matched in the young muscular cabernet. Blended from several old blocks long managed by the
Bookwalters, this wine shows the core strengths of Washington’s warm vintages, fruit fresh acidity and long lasting flavors.
Professional Ratings

Wine Spectator
Decidedly minerally, this has extra layers of wet stone and tar around a core of dark berry and cherry fruit, finishing with intensi- ty and richness. The finish persists. Drink now through 2022.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2012 Foreshadow Cabernet Sauvignon (there’s 4% Syrah in the blend) exhibits lots of scorched earth and licorice characteristics to go with ample blackberry and currant-style fruits. Full-bodied, open, supple and textured, enjoy this hedonistic beauty over the coming 4-5 years.

Wine Enthusiast
After starting out somewhat reduced, this becomes aromatic with notes of char, coffee grounds, toast, herbs and dark cherries. It’s seamless, silky and rich in feel, with layered fruit and barrel flavors and a beguiling sense of texture.

The story of J. Bookwalter Winery is a story of family heritage, deep roots and a centuries-old commitment to the land. Ten generations of the Bookwalter family have been involved in American agriculture. But it was Jerry Bookwalter, generation nine and father of current company president John Bookwalter, who led the family into viticulture. After graduating from UC-Davis in 1963, Jerry spent 13 years farming in California’s San Joaquin Valley before moving his family in 1976 to the Tri-Cities in Washington State.
Once there, he firmly stamped the Bookwalter name on the state’s nascent wine industry. From 1976 through 1982, Jerry helped manage the plantings of three iconic vineyards – Sagemoor, Bacchus and Dionysus.
