WinExpert Reserve Enigma, California – 30 Bottle Wine Kit

WinExpert Reserve 30 Bottle California Enigma

California’s answer to the big, bold, crowd-pleasing red. This Enigma from WinExpert Reserve is a robust Californian red blend inspired by the famous Apothic Red — smooth black fruit, hints of spice, and subtle vanilla — off-dry, rich, and endlessly approachable. Includes an add-back flavour bag to enhance its unique profile.

Wine Characteristics

Tasting Notes

Full-flavoured and bold with a nose of smooth black fruit, warm spice, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate it’s medium-full bodied with a touch of off-dry sweetness that makes it immediately approachable — rich, rounded, and crowd-pleasing. The add-back flavour bag gives this blend its distinctive, layered character. Improves with age up to 12 months.
