2014 "The Illusionist" Cabernet Sauvignon Etched 9L

The 2014 Illusionist is a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot, and 4% Merlot. It is an intensely dark, deeply concentrated, highly complex Cabernet hailing from some of the top vineyard sites in Washington State. The wine is aged for 20 months in 50% new French oak. This vintage of the Illusionist is loaded with blue and black fruits, and is complimented with aromas of cedar, smoke, and spice, all of which is backed by sweet oak notes. It is immediately approachable, with fine grained and silky tannins, but will age beautifully for at least another two decades.
