2011 Conundrum Wines California Red Wine, Napa Valley, CA, $22 (S) – Rating 89
A very easy-drinking wine consisting of a “non-traditional” bled of grape varieties. A vibrant nose of dark fruit, dark chocolate covered cherries with hints of smoke. The flavors are a rich combination of dark cherry, plum and chocolate with notes of ripe raspberry on the finish. Soft tannins, a bit a acidity and the slightest touch of sweetness add to the complexity. Sure to be a holiday crowd-pleaser on its own and paired with tomato dishes or turkey dinner left-overs.
