Tasting Notes

This red blend opens with ripe blackberry, plum, cherry, black currant, dark chocolate, oak, vanilla, baking spice, and black plum. The palate is medium to full-bodied, soft, smooth, and fruit-forward, with juicy dark berries, lavish fruit, baking chocolate, gentle tannins, and a rounded plush finish.

Food Paring

Pair this plush California red blend with barbecue brisket, pepperoni pizza, beef tacos, grilled steak tips, or messy barbecue ribs.

"Conundrum Red 2023 is a smooth and approachable red blend with expressive aromas of ripe blackberry, plum and cherry, layered with hints of cocoa, vanilla and baking spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied, soft and fruit-forward, with juicy dark berries, gentle tannins and a rounded texture that leads to a plush, easy finish. It is styled for richness and drinkability, showcasing California’s warm-climate fruit character."

91.5 Ken's Wine Guide

"This very dark ruby colored red blend from Conundrum opens with a dark chocolate and black currant bouquet with hints of oak and black plum. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, smooth, seamless, and very approachable. The flavor profile is a chocolate and blueberry blend with notes of Dr. Pepper and menthol. I also detected hints of black licorice and dried coconut flakes. On the finish its flavors, acidity, and its gentle tannins drift away nicely. I would pair this friendly red blend with grilled barbecue steak tips or a rack of messy barbecue ribs. Enjoy - Ken"
