2002 VintageWine Spectator, June 15, 2004: Rated 88: Round and ripe, with a panoply of melon, orange rind, pear and floral tones. Tangy citrus notes and a hint of vanilla shape the intense finish. Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Muscat Canelli, Viognier and Sémillon. Wall Street Journal, May 21, 2004: We thought we'd share with you some other specific whites that have been our summer favorites over the years....Of course, there's no reason to drink them only in summer, but we associate them with warm weather, so that's what we do. Conundrum from California: We first had this at Cellar in the Sky at the World Trade Center in 1991...so we are clearly biased, but this continues to be a unique wine. It's made from several kinds of grapes, giving it all sorts of flavors that are hard to put your finger on....Its fruitiness would make it good with port, but it's especially good just to sip before, or after, a nice dinner. In fact, it also would have paired well with our desert at the Cellar that night. Vancouver Sun/gismondionwine.com, Nov. 15,2004(Anthony Gismondi): Rated 90/100: Nice spicy, floral, honey, baked pear, orange, mineral aromas. Rich, round, slightly oily entry with a touch of sweetness. Ripe pear, apple, mineral, kiwi, grapefruit, honey, orange flavour with a very creamy vanilla lees finish. Nice intensity and balance... San Francisco Chronicle, December 2, 2004: Very good and the panel favorite. Subtle pear and citrus aromas; clean, fruity style with grapefruit rind, melon, green apple and mineral flavors; smooth mouthfeel; oak on the finish. Weekly Planet (Tampa, FL), July 14, 2004 (Taylor Eason): Rated 4˝ Planets: This label reads "White Table Wine" because the winemaker blends several different grapes to create this gorgeous, lush beverage. The Conundrum formula changes each year, and this one smells so good I want to climb into the bottle and live. Seductive and rich with spicy-floral, honeysuckle and vanilla. There's a slight hint of sweetness, yet it's art at the same time. Magnificent. Jacksonville magazine (FL), June 2005: …among the very first upscale wines to offer a screw top in place of a cork. Gebert says the blend of floral, tropical and spicy flavors gives the wine “its own unique flavor unlike any other white Meritage. It’s medium-bodied and easy to drink in hot weather.” Grand Rapids (MI) Press, November 16, 2005: If you want to go for broke, try Conundrum. When you are tired of Chardonnay, this delightful white wine will complement every course. It is an interesting blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Muscat Canelli, Viognier and Semillon and worth hoarding.
