Sleight of Hand Cellars The Archimage Red Blend 2016

*** Pours another glass, sighs deeply...***

#4. This is probably a BAD idea. This wine has 95 points! Good thing it’s a holiday...we can just hear our accountant on Monday when we come in..."What the heck were you guys thinking...?"

Whatever. This is just a ridiculously rad offer. Sleight of Hand! Those uber-talented, kooky wine geniuses up in Washington state have given us another colossal no-brainer buy...THE ARCHIMAGE, a beautiful homage to Right Bank Bordeaux (Cab Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon) from the killer 2016 vintage. For sure you’ve had a few wines from this brilliant company -- if so, you’ve long stopped reading and already have 4, 6, 12 on the way! 

As the enthusiastic writeups imply, this blend is singing with floral notes, blue fruits, crushed rock and sweet tobacco, with a fine mouthfeel that the pros call “lavish”. Did we mention 95 points?? Good luck...oh and happy Friday, a friendly reminder that we love you!!

“The style at Sleight of Hand, under the guidance of Trey Busch, Jerry Solomon, and Keith Johnson, has changed dramatically over the past 4-5 years and the wines show more finesse, elegance, and purity today, without sacrificing on fruit or texture. These are brilliant wines, and I certainly include this estate in the top handful of estates in Washington today.”

About The Producer

Serious wines without the serious attitudes...

Sleight of Hand Cellars was founded in 2007 by Trey Busch and Jerry and Sandy Solomon. Our only goal from the outset has been to make world class wines while having the most fun that is legally possible. Our love of great wines from around the world, and our love of music, have inspired our vision and growth and have helped us reach a customer base that has the same passions as we do.

The winery has been open for just a dozen years, but in that time Sleight of Hand Cellars has been named one of "The Next Generation" of up and coming wineries in Washington State, as well as one of "The Next Cult Wineries" by Seattle Magazine. In addition, we have been featured in Wine Spectator magazine and had numerous wines in various of the industry’s “Top 100” lists, including, most recently, being named to the 2018 Wine Spectator Top 100 for our Levitation Syrah.

Your daily purveyor of fine wines.

We’re wine drinkers, collectors, and part of the global wine trade. Mostly, we are totally stoked to bring you incredible juice at the best prices we can possibly obtain, every day.
