    Sleight of Hand 2017 The Illusionist Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Columbia Valley (WA))

    The aromas are quite reserved, with notes of blackberry, sautéed herbs, bittersweet chocolate and spice with whiffs of green pepper. Full-bodied, ripe, luscious flavors follow. It's rich but keeps the balance in check with the impressive freshness of the vintage. There's a lot packed into it. Best after 2024.
