Wine Review: This dark ruby colored red blend concoction from Conundrum is very good. It opens with a fragrant mulberry and dark chocolate bouquet with hints of blueberry. On the palate, this wine is full bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round and fresh. The flavor profile is a tasty black cherry and mocha blend with notes of oak and blueberry. We also detected some hints of clove and touch of cinnamon. On the finish its moderate tannins build-up and stick around for quite some time. This wine would pair nicely with marinated grilled steak tips. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Nose: Chocolate brownie and cherry are balanced by notes of bar-b-que, mesquite smoke and leather. Rich but not sweet, with intoxicating layers.
Palate: Dark chocolate with ripe plums, a hint of blackberry and integrated wood. This wine features a defining texture – produced from a chalky tannin character that is both round and grippy.
Style differentiator: Dry yet rich, with lavish fruit. Be daring and drink slightly chilled to enhance the flavor profile.
Suggested food pairings from winemaker Charlie Wagner: Asian, Indian or Mexican; smoked meats or grilled hamburgers and don’t forget the fries!
