2013 A to Z Chardonnay from Oregon

Dubbed “Your Thanksgiving Turkey Wine”

Tasting Notes: ​The 2013 A to Z Chardonnay nose opens with bright fruit like kiwi and tangerine, pear and stone fruits then deepens to richer aromas of honey toast, rose and wet stones. On the palate, the wine is juicy and round with well-balanced freshness, minerality and structure. The zesty finish is crisp, clean and pure with a lingering mineral nose.

​2013 Conundrum White, California

Tasting Notes: Gorgeous aromas of apricot, honeysuckle, vanilla, and lime zest enhance a deeply-flavored palate of tropical fruit, peach, pear and honeydew melon. The complexity of this wine is brought into balance with a rich, round, soft texture; fresh, supportive acidity; and a stunning, satisfying finish!

2012 Conundrum Red, California

Winemaker’s Notes: Conundrum Red is both bold and mysterious, opening up with aromas of dark fruit, plums, and rich berries that are layered with a subtle smokiness and the whiff of BBQ. The wine has a round, full-bodied entry on the palate, delivering an extravagance of fruit that leads into a lingering finish. An evocative quality of brown spice combines with a serious red wine texture to leave a strong yet nuanced final impression, one that entices rather than reveals the mystery.

2012 Raymond, Cabernet Sauvignon: California

Winemaker’s Notes: The Family Classic Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied, well-structured wine displaying inviting dark cherry notes accented by hints of clove and an undertone of mulling spices. The wine was purposely crafted in a style that allows it to pair expertly with a wide range of cuisine. Our suggestion - try it alongside a beef stir-fry with fresh ginger.
