"This wine blends fruit from the winery’s Blue Mountain estate, Red Mountain Vineyard and Phinny Hill. Dark and succulent from the moment it’s poured, it feels like a drama between power and grace. There’s a substantial oak frame, and yet light aromatics effortlessly slip through that architecture—violets, pine and olive. A Blue-Mountain evergreen note carries through on the palate, a delicious counterpoint to the dark intensity of the fruit from Red Mountain and Phinny Hill. The components come together with a textural refinement that’s completely satisfying."
"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."
"Plum, blackcurrant and anise on the nose. Full-bodied with velvety tannins. Rich and powerful palate. Juicy black fruit and cedar come through. Rosemary, too. Very good intensity and depth. Best after 2024."
"Expressive and well-knit, showing a backbone of lively acidity and tannins that propel black currant, clove and forest floor accents."
Winemaker Notes:
"The 2019 Illusionist is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and 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."
