title: J. Bookwalter 2007 Protagonist Red (Red Mountain)
description: Lushly aromatic and toasty, the substantial oak flavors are set against deep, brambly berry and cassis fruits. There are subtle suggestions of mint and some alcoholic heat, and an interesting orange peel scent carries into the mouth. The tannins are big and ripe and not at all bitter or too heavy.
variety: Red Blend
designation: Protagonist
