winemaker's notes:

The "puzzle" of Conundrum lies partly in guessing the range of grape varieties used, because its exact composition is never revealed!

To create the layered flavors that go into the Conundrum blend, Sauvignon Blanc grapes were brought in from the Napa Valley, Muscat Canelli from Tulare County on the Central Coast, and Chardonnay and Viognier from Conundrum's vineyards in Monterey County.

About one quarter of the wine lots were fermented in stainless steel in order to preserve their individual fruit characteristics. The remaining lots were fermented in a combination of new and seasoned oak barrels for up to ten months.

Conundrum 2006 exhibits soft tropical notes of guava and cherimoya, also peach and honeysuckle. The rich perfume is supported by concentrated and focused layers of peach and apricot nectar, pear and green melon with spicy vanilla notes. The creamy texture and balanced acidity carries through the palate for a long finish.

  Screw top. - 12/4/2008
I would buy this wine again
I was a little surprized when I had the 1st sip....The taste was nice and crisp. Not to strong. Perfect for a picnic or dinner gatherings. We had it for thanksgiving and everyone love it.

  No Conundrum Here! - 9/16/2008

 I would buy this wine again
This is definitely a wine to buy! I usually lean more toward the reds, but this is such a yummy white wine, I just keep buying it (and drinking it!) It's worth a good swirl...but more worth that first exquisite mouthful - it's just so fruity and clean on the palate. Perfect for a summer day outside or in winter by the fire with pasta. Or, heck, have a slice of cheesecake and enjoy a glass, it's that versatile!

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine

About Professional Ratings

These wine ratings are based on a 100-point quality scale, and are selected by each publication's unique criteria. Some wine ratings are expressed as ranges. When this occurs we will list the highest score in the range and note the full range within the tasting note.

While ratings may influence your decision, the ultimate judgment is your palate.
