Eat ripe blackberries and let the juice drop down your chin. Dig in your garden and pick violets. That's how Conflict smells. The wine's dark plum, almond and bacon fat flavors coat the palate, while plush tannins and gentle acidity hold down the fort. This Merlot and Cabernet Sauvign0n-driven blend is quite pleasing.

This gorgeous, indulgent, full-bodied, almost sweet-tasting wine is drenched in baked blueberries, dark plums and light oak spices of cinnamon and vanilla. It’s something soft and friendly to pair with spicy meat dishes. Drink now.

Juicy black cherries, red plums, sappy flowers, and hints of wild sage all emerge from the 2021 Conflict, a more Merlot-dominated blend that includes smaller amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc. It's medium-bodied and supple, with a balanced, elegant mouthfeel and ripe tannins. It will continue to drink nicely over the coming decade.
