Winemakers Notes: A soft gentle hue, this wine has a fresh, delicate nose with a trace of the tropical scents of flower blossoms mingling with orange, honeysuckle and a touch of lemon. Entry on the palate is vibrant, with flavors of mandarin orange and a lively acidity that gives this wine a serious dimension. The combination of tropical notes alongside citrus is emblematic of white grapes grown in cooler regions of California and provides a singular character. Bright acidity carries through to the long finish.

COMMENTARY: I find it hard to believe that this wine has been around for more than a quarter of a century. I was there and tasted the first Conundrum, and I found it quite fascinating then It was a white wine of a different sort and wine that I needed a little time before understanding it. Aromatic and tantalizing, Conundrum has always been a unique wine. The 2019 vintage is quite appealing. Its aromas and flavors of fragrant fruit, bright candy, and ripe melon make it a wine that would pair superbly with hot, spicy, and sweet dishes. Try it with a roast chicken breast accented with pickled scallions, water chestnuts, celery, cilantro, and a splash of chili oil. (Tasted: November 8, 2018, San Francisco, CA)
