description: Half Cabernet Sauvignon, and half Syrah, this vintage of Protagonist is entirely different (in both blend and vineyard sources) from the 2007. Sharp and peppery from the cool vintage Syrah, it introduces intriguing scents and accents of cayenne and bitter chocolate. The herbal flavors are more evident than in the other J. Bookwalter releases from 2008, but well blended and balanced.
variety: Red Blend
designation: Protagonist Red
