Country: US / The Conjurer
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Washington
Winery: Sleight of Hand / Columbia Valley (WA)
This Bordeaux-style blend is 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and 34% Cabernet Franc. Some 20% saw new French oak, and the wine has lovely concentration and flavor integration. Blueberry, blackberry and cassis are wrapped in cacao and coffee—thoroughly luscious and nicely concentrated.
