Now you see $50 Bordeaux blends…now you DON'T! 93 POINTS, UNDER $15, and 60% OFF — Sleight of Hand’s The Conjurer is the most magical wine deal of the year!!!

That's the thing about magic — and that's EXACTLY the thing about this deal…blink, and you’ll miss it! Sleight of Hand Cellars' THE CONJURER is HERE — and at UNDER $15 a bottle, it's going to disappear faster than a rabbit in a top hat. Trey Busch and the vinyl-spinning, punk-rocking legends of Walla Walla have done it AGAIN — conjuring up FIVE critical scores between 90 and 93 POINTS from all the top pundits on this blissfully seductive Bordeaux blend, and we grabbed the whole cache to drop on you at a price that should be completely, utterly, criminally impossible. Best price you’ll find on the web is THIRTY-FIVE. And we've got it here — today, RIGHT NOW — for FOURTEEN DOLLARS. That's a full SIXTY PERCENT OFF, people. You can't make this stuff up. Well, actually…Trey can. That's why they call it magic.

If Neil Patrick Harris’ grinning mug on the label wasn't enough to assure you that this is…wait for it…LEGEND-ARY (and honestly, for this writer, it absolutely is)…93 points AND the endorsement of the world's greatest living magician-slash-entertainer-slash-overachiever should seal the absolute deal! 

Now — on to the wine itself, because folks…THIS IS GORGEOUS. 43% Cabernet Franc leads the charge, with 35% Cabernet Sauvignon for backbone and structure, and 22% Merlot to smooth everything out into one seductively silky package. Fruit hails from two of Washington's most lauded AVAs — Blue Mountain AND Red Mountain — for a dazzling complexity that most wineries charge two and three times this price to deliver. Eleven months in 22% new French oak keeps things elegant, integrated, and endlessly polished. Wine Advocate calls this, "supple and medium-bodied, with impressive balance on a long finish…" and all I can say is…YEAH, BUDDY!!!

Concentrated black fruits hit you right out of the gate — black cherries and Luxardo cherry sweetness, plum preserves, and blueberry — layered with cedar, graphite, and hints of cigar box that absolutely sing. Then comes the espresso bean and milk chocolate mid-palate, with this sophisticated, cedary depth that lingers on the finish like a great song you can't get out of your head. The tannins are plush and velvety — zero rough edges — and the whole thing drinks like it belongs in a lineup at double or triple this price. Crushable NOW, and cellarable through 2033 with ease? That's the Conjurer at work, baby.

Sleight of Hand Cellars routinely lands on Top 100 lists all across the wine world, and yet — these folks bring exactly zero pretension and maximum soul to every interaction and every project they undertake. This is not a "stuffy Walla Walla estate" situation that makes you scale walls to access the goods. This is a bunch of rock-and-roll wine nerds making some of the finest Bordeaux blends in North America — and selling them at prices that make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Long may they reign!!! 

Only 1,500 cases made — which sounds like a lot until you remember how fast these things move. The clock is ticking, the rabbit is about to vanish, and the only trick left is for YOU to grab six bottles before this one disappears for good.

While it lasts!!!

** Happy Father's Day! To all the good dads out there, we're raising a glass to you, today!**

"I've been drinking this wine since its first vintage, and it's not just because Neil Patrick Harris' mug is on the label. No, it's because Conjurer is a fantastic Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend that over delivers for its price. The latest Conjurer opens with a concentrated black fruit aroma that is surrounded by notes of graphite and cigar box. Flavors of black cherries and a fresh-brewed cup of Indonesian coffee rule the palate, accompanied by an elegant texture and velvety tannins. Doogie for the win(e)." -Wine Enthusiast

”The 2022 'The Conjurer' combines primarily Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark in the glass, this delivers a soft mouthfeel with cedar and tar notes that combine with espresso bean and suggestions of milk chocolate, with medium to full bodied dark fruits. Soft and approachable now, enjoy over the next eight to ten years." -Owen Bargreen
91 POINTS
"Blending 43% Cabernet Franc, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 22% Merlot, the 2022 The Conjurer is a well-made wine at a terrific price, sourced from Blue Mountain and Red Mountain to offer a dazzling array of red and blue berry, baking spice, and dried herb. Supple and medium-bodied, it has impressive balance on a long finish. Drink now and over the next 6-8 years." -Jeb Dunnuck
90 POINTS
"The 2022 The Conjurer is a blend of 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc and 22% Merlot matured for 11 months in 22% new French oak. It has pure aromas of Luxardo cherries, black plums, lavender and aniseed. The full-bodied palate balances highly concentrated flavors with pleasantly chewy tannins and juicy acidity, and it has a flavorful, slightly warm finish. 1,500 cases produced." -Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
90 POINTS
"A handsome and appealing red, with zesty blackberry, mocha espresso and toasty spice flavors that end with snappy tannins. Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2032. 1,500 cases made." -Wine Spectator
