2023 "The Conjurer" Red Blend 750mL

The 2023 Conjurer Bordeaux-style blend is a composed of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Cabernet Franc, and 14% Merlot. It was aged for 16 months in mostly neutral French oak. It’s both rich and lively, with a weighty texture and seamless tannin profile. This vintage is quite floral and herbal on the nose, showing off with notes of red and black cherries,blueberries, and licorice. There is an earthy undertone that is at the core of this wine, along with a wonderfully refined tannin structure. The acidity hides nicely in the background, ensuring that this wine should age gracefully over the next decade or more. As always, it is best enjoyed with music and friends!
