2020 J Bookwalter Winery 'Conflict' Red Blend Columbia Valley

(90 points) "This blend is a tannic beast that needs decanting or time to tame. Aged for 20 months in French oak, 70% new, its leathery texture and grippy tannins are like a vinous version of a Spartan battle tunic. Aromas and flavors of boysenberries, blackberries, black tea and lilacs. Only brave hearts need approach." Wine Enthusiast.
