2019 "The Illusionist" Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Magnum 1500mL
The 2019 Illusionist is a blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Cabernet Franc, sourced from our estate blocks at Blue Mtn. Vineyard, Red Mtn. Vineyard, and Phinny Hill Vineyard. Aged for 20 months in 52% new French oak, it has a knockout nose of blue and purple fruits, with incense and spice notes lingering in the background. The palate shows tons of cassis, blueberries, Italian plums, leafy herbs, and spice. This wine will age easily over the next 10-20 years. Best served with great food and great friends! Cheers!

"Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon yet with 6% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon The Illusionist Reserve offers lots of cassis and blue fruits to go with a rich, medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, building tannins, and classic Cabernet notes of tobacco and lead pencil. It’s already approachable yet has enough tannins to warrant 2-4 years in the cellar."
