The Art of the Secret Blend

From the visionary Wagner Family (distinguished makers of Caymus Vineyards), the Conundrum Red 2022 is a wine that defies definition. Eschewing the traditional single-varietal approach, this blend is a carefully guarded secret, combining the best of California's dark-fruited grapes. The 2022 vintage is remarkably supple, offering a velvety texture and an explosion of rich, "serious" flavors that remain immensely approachable.

Palate

Milk chocolate, ripe plums, and luscious black cherry.

Finish

Smooth, round tannins with a touch of toasted oak spice.

Style

California Bold—rich, fruit-forward, and deeply concentrated.

DINNER PAIRINGS

Conundrum Red is designed to be shared. Its richness makes it a perfect partner for hearty, savory dishes:

  • BBQ Classics: Pulled pork, smoked brisket, or ribs with a sweet-and-spicy glaze.
  • Spicy Fare: The lush fruit profile holds up beautifully against Mexican carnitas or spicy spaghetti bolognese.
  • Comfort Food: A perfect match for wood-fired pepperoni pizza or a gourmet bacon cheeseburger.

Conundrum Insights

What grapes are in the Conundrum Red blend? +

True to its name, the exact blend is a secret! However, it typically features a mix of California's finest dark grapes, often including Zinfandel and Petite Sirah, to achieve its signature depth and color.

How does this compare to Caymus Cabernet? +

While Caymus is a structured 100% Cabernet, Conundrum is more eclectic and "soft." It shares the Wagner hallmark of ripeness and velvety mouthfeel but offers a more playful, multi-layered fruit profile at a more accessible price point.

Should I chill this red wine? +

Conundrum is unique—it is delicious at room temperature, but some fans enjoy it with a very slight chill (about 60°F) to sharpen the fruit flavors and make it even more refreshing during summer months.
