J. Bookwalter Conflict is a Bordeaux-style red blend from Columbia Valley, Washington, crafted by J. Bookwalter Winery in Richland, WA. This full-bodied, fruit-forward wine leads with aromas of ripe blackberries, violets, and dark cherry, complemented by notes of chocolate, baking spices, and currants. On the palate, it delivers rich flavors of dark plum, baked blueberries, and almond with light oak spices of cinnamon and vanilla, supported by plush tannins and gentle acidity that carry through a long, well-spiced finish.

Driven primarily by Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the Conflict blend showcases J. Bookwalter's commitment to expressive, terroir-driven wines from Washington State. Columbia Valley is Washington's largest American Viticultural Area, where hot days and cool nights develop concentrated fruit flavors and balanced acidity in red wines. The 2021 vintage earned 92 points from both Wine Enthusiast and James Suckling, praised as a gorgeous, indulgent, layered red that remains poised and balanced.

This wine pairs excellently with spicy meat dishes, grilled lamb, braised short ribs, or hearty pasta. Serve at 60–65°F (15–18°C).
