The 2021 The Conjurer, a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Cabernet Franc and 7% Merlot, is dark, sweet and floral, with a bouquet that blends dark chocolate and autumnal spice with dried black cherries. This is nicely rounded, with a balanced inner sweetness and a juicy core of red and blue fruits. Well-managed tannins frame the finish as the 2021 maintains a wonderfully fresh persona.
International Wine Report - (93 Points)
A blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Cabernet Franc, and 7% Merlot make up the 2021 Conjurer from Sleight of Hand Cellars. A scintillating nose of dark red plums, candied cherries, dried purple flowers, sweet red and black licorice, and dried herbs spill from the glass. Full-bodied with sweet tannins, graceful acidity, and a long-lasting finish helps complete the wine. 2024-2032
Sean P Sullivan NW Wine Report - (92 Points)
Cabernet Sauvignon (53%) and Cabernet Franc (40 %) comprise most of this wine, with the rest Merlot. All free-run juice aged 11 months in 25% new French oak, the aromas bring generous notes of dried and fresh herb, plum, and black cherry. The palate is pretty and poised, showing sophistication and detail but also intensity. The tannins are soft and beautifully integrated. There's sneaky freshness behind it all. 14.4% alcohol.
