Score 91/100 · Drink 2011-2021, Jay S Miller, Wine Advocate, Oct 2009

The 2006 Protagonist is a blend of 63% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon with the balance Petit Verdot, Syrah, and Cabernet Franc. It received the same upbringing as the two Foreshadow wines. It displays an enticing bouquet of cigar box, earth notes, spice box, black cherry, and black raspberry. Plush on the palate with refined tannins, it has plenty of tasty red fruit, impeccable balance, and a pure, fruit-filled finish. It will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and will deliver prime drinking from now to 2021. Over the years, J. Bookwalter has been a consistent source of quality Washington wine. These new releases from the 2006 vintage are all successful. Tel: (509) 627-5000; www.bookwalterwines.com
