2016 J Bookwalter Conflict Columbia Valley
Our classical blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon displays the terroir of Conner Lee Vineyard in gorgeous form. Our outstanding 1992 Merlot block we blend with our old block 1987 & 1988 Cabernet Sauvignons in this reserve selection. Warm vintages for Conner Lee Vineyard are our favorites, showing off big ripe flavors balanced by the cool site’s fresh acidity. Expect this wine to last for 10 to 20 years and show its best from one year after release.
Suave and complex with classical aromatics of currants and dark berries married to new French oak and savory earthiness. Supported by 2% Malbec bringing spice and pepper notes with aromatic brightness. Cabernet Sauvignon’s tannic intensity vies with the voluptuous Merlot for attention in this dynamic wine.
Blend: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 48% Merlot, 2% Malbec
Critical Acclaim
94 James Suckling
There is a very fresh, upbeat and floral style on the nose with a wealth of earth, bracken and leafy nuances on offer. The palate has a beautifully composed core of fresh blue-fruit flavors, carried on fresh and fine tannins. A blend of 50% cabernet sauvignon, 48% merlot and 2% malbec. Drink or hold.
93 Jeb Dunnuck
The 2016 Conflict checks in as a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 48% Merlot, and 2% Malbec which spent 20 months in 300-liter puncheons. Deep purple/ruby-colored, it’s a full-bodied, ripe, polished beauty that has loads of black fruits, spring flowers, underbrush, and mint-laced aromas and flavors. It's a beautiful, elegant, seamless wine from this estate.
91 Wine Enthusiast
Cabernet Sauvignon makes up half of this wine, with the rest Merlot (48%) and a pinch of Malbec. Aromas of coffee grounds, dark chocolate, bell pepper, leafy green herbs and cherry are at the fore. A textured, full-bodied, lively palate follows along with a warm finish. Chalky Tannins back it up.
91 Wine Spectator
Harmonious, with muscle simmering underneath, showing black cherry and blueberry flavors, laced with fresh sage and spice notes. Finishes with fine-grained tannins.
