2007 The Illusionist |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 We picked the perfect vintage to debut our new Cabernet Sauvignon based blend, The Illusionist. 2007 was a standout vintage for Washington State, one of the best in a string of great vintages. The final blend of The Illusionist is 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Petit Verdot, 16% Malbec, 16% Cabernet Franc, 8% Syrah, and 5% Merlot. The wine was aged for 22 months in 30% new French oak, the remainder in 1 and 2 year old French oak barrels. The wine is rich and lush, full of dark fruits including plums and black cherries, and with a beautiful spice component to complement the fine tannin structure. To add to the rich dimension of the wine, there is some minerality as well. This wine will gain in complexity as it ages, and should be ready to drink in about 3-5 years, but will easily age for the next 12-15 or so. Maybe longer! This wine is a treasure that will present you with the classic dilemmas, drink now or hold for later; drink alone or share with friends. Enjoy! |
