2019 · The Conjurer

Founded in 2007, Sleight of Hand Cellars is a Walla Walla, Washington producer owned by Trey Busch and Jerry and Sandy Solomon. After moving from a downtown storefront to a southern Walla Walla Valley property in 2011, the winery began producing wines from both estate and selected non-estate vineyards across Washington State. Busch oversees the vineyards and winemaking, with Jerry Solomon serving as director of winemaking and Keith Johnson as production winemaker. The range includes expressive, site-focused Syrah, Bordeaux-style blends, Riesling, Chardonnay, and other wines from Columbia Valley AVAs. Winemaking details include native fermentation, whole-cluster use, careful vineyard sourcing, and occasional unfined and unfiltered bottling, reflecting an artisanal approach to Washington fruit.
