Conundrum Red
“We believe in being both serious and playful, and this wine fits the bill. A rich, dark red, it offers aromas of ripe berries and plums, warmed by a hint of cocoa. Dried fruit and the taste of chocolate-covered cherries come through on the palate, while a wisp of smokiness makes this wine – created from dark red varietals including Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon – the perfect complement to grilled meats and full-flavored dishes. Tannins are rounded out by the ripeness of the berries for a texturous but smooth mouth feel. The finish makes us think of lingering at the end of a long evening and still not wanting to go home, with layers of rich flavor that teasingly trail off.” - Charlie Wagner, Director of Winemaking at Conundrum
19 Crimes Cabernet Sauvignon
Bright red to crimson hues, this wine confidently takes charge with intense lifted vanilla aromatics balanced with red currants, violets and mulberry fruits. Firm and full on the palate with a subtle sweetness giving a rich mouth feel. The vanilla aromatics carry through on the palate and compliment subtle flavors of red currants, dark cherries and chocolate. The palate is filled with dark berry fruit and the soft tannins provide a lingering finish.

Josh Cabernet Sauvignon - Craftsman Collection series
Josh’s Cabernet Sauvignon was the first wine made by the company. It is the wine that started it all, setting the exacting standards that they hold themselves to for all of their varietals. Round and juicy, our Cabernet Sauvignon has flavors of blackberry, toasted hazelnut and cinnamon, complemented by hints of vanilla and toasted oak.
Josh’s Craftsman series is exclusive to restaurants and venues, meaning you cannot buy this in stores!
Merf Chardonnay
The 2016 Chardonnay is smooth, rich and balanced. With flavors of fresh apple, pear and tropical fruit with the oak giving it a nice rich mouthfeel and hints of oak in the nose and finish.
MERF’s goal was simply to make delicious, approachable wines that pair equally well with everyday foods and everyday life.
Apothic White
A blend of Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Grigio for a medium-bodied California white wine blend with vibrant layers of flavor featuring peach, apricot and floral notes. Riesling lends Apothic White its floral notes and firm acidity. Chardonnay adds texture and body, while Pinot Grigio contributes refreshing flavors of peach and apricot leading to a crisp, balanced finish.
Inspired by "Apotheca," a mysterious place where wine was blended and stored in 13th century Europe, the wines of Apothic are truly unique in style and taste.
