The violets, rose petals and dark berries are really cool here. Medium to full body and tight and finely polished tannins. Wonderful length and focus. Extremely poised and solid. Blend of 47% cabernet sauvignon, 45% merlot and 8% malbec. Drink now or hold.

The 2015 Conflict Conner Lee Vineyard (47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and the rest Malbec) offers a more high-toned style to go with notes of blue fruits, violets, spice, and cedar. It's full-bodied, silky and elegant on the palate, with fine tannin and well-integrated acidity, and I suspect it will age gracefully.

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.
