Conundrum 2017 Red

Created from dark red varietals. this wine is both lighthearted and serious. It continues to take inspiration from my late grandpa. Charlie Wagner Sr.. who taught me to find the fun in winemaking and to be willing to take risks. He also set an example for moving the bar higher as we continually strive to make better and better wines.

Alcohol: 14.6%

We recommend drinking Conundrum Red slightly chilled — this not only enhances the fruit profile and structure of the wine. but makes it a great choice any time of year. You may just discover another reason to believe in the rewards of going off the beaten path and embracing the chance to try something new.

A playful purple hue. this vintage opens on the nose with the pure essence of chocolate mixed with notes of berry pie. wildflowers. vanilla and a fresh oak character. The palate is lively and mouthwatering. featuring lush cherry flavors infused with unsweetened chocolate and intriguing notes of clove and nutmeg. Tannins provide structure and vibrancy from the moment of entry all the way through to the finish. enhancing this wine's freshness and calling you back long after you take an initial sip.
