Product Highlights
The 2019 Conjurer is a remarkable blend of 46% cabernet sauvignon, 42% cabernet franc, and 12% merlot. Our three Estate Vineyards in the Walla Walla valley, Red Man and Horse Heaven Hills AVA’s make up the fruit for the age- worthy yet approachable bordeaux-style blend. Starting with the gorgeous, medium ruby red color, it follows with aromatic notes of black cherries, dark berries, cinnamon spice and cassis. It's richly textured yet still retains terrific acidity. Flavors of ripe Bing cherries and plum are balanced with earthy notes of tobacco and cool, wet forest floor. This year’s blend is amazingly fresh and vibrant and should age for another 12-15 years. As always, enjoy this wine with great friends.

Expert Reviews
This Cabernet Sauvignon-driven Bordeaux blend provides a balanced combination of fruit, silky tannins and more than enough acidity to keep things fresh and lively. The aromatics are an exotic combination of boysenberries, peaches and a sweet, sativa-like herbal note. An ocean of dark Chelan cherries is joined by notes of basil and orange pipe tobacco. There's even a touch of saline amongst the waves of fruit—a most enjoyable wine.

Really good even in its youth, the Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc dominant 2019 The Conjurer spent 11 months in 25% new French oak prior to bottling. Toasty oak wraps around a beautiful core of blackberry, huckleberry and black tea flavors. The great veil of tension and soft texture add to the enjoyment. Best savored over the next five-plus years. Drink 2021 through 2027.

The 2019 The Conjurer is based on 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Cabernet Franc, and 12% Merlot that was brought up all in French oak. It has a spicy, complex, Cabernet Franc-like nose of red and black fruits, spring flowers, tobacco, and cedar. This carries to a medium to full-bodied, lively, beautifully balanced, elegant red that brings solid intensity while staying light and elegant, with a great finish.
