The stunning 2021 Illusionist Reserve is a gorgeous blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot. It’s another flawlessly balanced, refined, and robust wine from the winemakers at Sleight of Hand that knocks it out of the park. Crème de cassis, freshly picked blackberries, pencil shavings, forest herbs, and green peppercorns, with additional shades of sweet vanilla bean and lemon zest, are all present and combined perfectly in the glass. This has the balance and texture to shine today with a heavy decant or over the next 15 years. Only 500 cases made. Highly recommended and editor’s choice.
