Natalie's Score: 92/100

Produced by Charles F. Wagner, prop., Conundrum 2021 is great value at $19. A fragrant and easy-to-enjoy white wine blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Muscat Canelli and Viognier sourced from wine regions Napa Valley to Santa Barbara County, this white blend was first made in 1989 and has increased in popularity ever since., Off-dry, medium-plus-bodied and lush with a mouthful of tropical fruit, peach, melon, citrusy and dried pineapple flavours silky smooth on the palate. So delicious now!

White food pairings: coquilles St Jacques, Greek salad, salmon tartare served on shaved carrot and zucchini.

Reviews and Ratings

Lynn van der Linde - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Floral and tropical aromas blend together in this white California blend - mainly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Quite the conundrum!
Lingering citrus and starfruit flavours. Pair with summer salads or fish tacos.
Tasted June 2023.
Produced by Charles F. Wagner, prop., Conundrum 2021 is crowd-pleaser white wine blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc with Semillon, Muscat Canelli and Viognier in support. Grapes for this vintage were sourced from wine regions Napa Valley to Santa Barbara County. The Conundrum white wine blend was first made in 1989 and has increased in popularity ever since. The wine is off-dry, medium-bodied and a lush mouthful of tropical fruit, peach, melon and citrusy flavours smooth and fresh on the palate. Drinkable and so moreish! Chill and enjoy it on its own or with seacuterie. - Community Wine Reviews
