The Conjurer

Estate Bordeaux Blend · 3 AVAs 05 / 15 $35
Three AVAs. One trick.

The crowd favorite: a fruit-forward, ready-to-drink three-AVA estate blend, and yes, that's Neil Patrick Harris on the label.

Floral and herbal on the nose, with red and black cherries, blueberry, and licorice over an earthy core; rich yet lively.
