2013 Conundrum Red Wine $17.99/bottle on 6+

Conundurm

One of the most celebrated family’s in all of Napa Valley has got to be the illustrious Wagner Family. From a stout lineage that has brought us wines such as Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon and Belle Glos Pinot Noir, the dynasty continues to show off its mettle by introducing their second vintage of the racy yet refined 2013 Conudrum Red Wine.  True to its name, we can only speculate what this “enigma in bottle” contains, but what we do know is that this beast of a wine will smack you in the mouth with flavor that is down-right delicious and addicting.  Normal winery retail price is $25/bottle but purchase the 2013 Conundrum Red from CV today and amass it for $17.99/bottle on six +!

If you are tired of paying premium for a distinctively bold and flavor rich wine then look no further then Conundrum Red.  It is a smooth sipper that will have you begging for more.  With its DEEP GARNET hue you are immediately drawn to the glass with a nose of DRIED BERRIES, hints of SPICEY CHOCOLATE, and wait for it…BACON!!  You can’t help but see what’s next!  On the palate, you are captivated by the FRUIT FORWARD silky notes of BLACKBERRIES, BLACK PLUMS, and VANILLA that are complimented by balanced tannins making the finish LONG and SMOOTH.

The 2013 Conundrum Red is a wine meant to be enjoyed today, on pizza night, BBQ night, or just relaxing by the fire.  So, don’t wait too long and put me on speed dial or email me back ASAP, because for the money this wine hits the spot!

Winery Tasting Notes:

“We believe in being both serious and playful, and this wine fits the bill. A rich, dark red, it offers aromas of ripe berries and plums, warmed by a hint of cocoa. Dried fruit and the taste of chocolate-covered cherries come through on the palate, while a wisp of smokiness makes this wine – created from dark red varietals including Zinfandel and Petite Sirah – the perfect complement to grilled meats and full-flavored dishes. Tannins are rounded out by the ripeness of the berries for a texturous but smooth mouth feel. The finish makes us think of lingering at the end of a long evening and still not wanting to go home, with layers of rich flavor that teasingly trail off.”

Cheers,
