2005 Vintage
San Francisco Chronicle, October 26, 2007. "This
proprietary blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Muscat Canelli, with
splashes of Semillon and Viognier, makes a lovely floral-citrus aperitif, but is
also a terrific match with many styles of Asian food. This vintage's grapes come
from Napa, Monterey, Santa Barbara and Tulare counties. Its ripe melon and
floral flavors are strengthened with just enough acidity to make it at once
refreshing and foodworthy."
Wine Spectator, August 31, 2007: Rated: 88 points.
"Wildly fragrant, with honeysuckle, jasmine and peach aromatics. Shows an
intriguing medley of melon, nectarine and passion fruit flavors, with juicy
acidity and a long, lingering finish."
Santa Rosa Press Democrat, November 8, 2006: Wine of
the Week. Rated: 4 Stars. "An impressive white blend...the complexity of the
blend makes it a tasty food-pairing wine. The first sip is all soft sweetness
and light...name any tropical fruit and you will imagine you are tasting it in
this wine. It is natural and all but inevitable to try to put a name to the
varietal, or varietals, we are sipping. Yet Conundrum is intentionally wily in
this regard. It wants you to wonder and to speculate while you enjoy. If
conversation around the Thanksgiving table becomes strained, this wine could
save the day."
