A little Rosé magic from Sleight of Hand on Christmas Eve. The Magicians Assistant Rosé is one of better Rosés I had recently. On the nose; pink rose petals, beautiful fragrant soft minerals, powdery chalkiness and lean fruits of; watermelon near the rhine, cherries, strawberries & pink grapefruit w/ a touch of sugar. The mouthfeel is medium, rich and a touch gluey. The palate fruits match the nose. Minerals that grip softly, just the right amount of powdery chalkiness, pink roses, watermelon Jolly rancher, perfect round acidity and an elegant, balanced finish. Merry Christmas everyone ! May it be joyous! 🎁🎄❄️⛄️🥗

The Magician’s Assistant is a single-vineyard 100 percent Cabernet Franc from Blackrock vineyard. On the nose, beautiful florals-pink roses. Strawberries, cherries, black raspberries and notes of ripe melon & tangerine. On the palate; soft roses, muted strawberries, cherries, watermelon, notes of tangerine & grapefruit. Nice saline, near perfect acidity, and a round almost candied, beautiful finish. Drink all day. Beautiful Rosé.
