Conundrum Wine

25. January 2009 by Azat.

Conundrum is a beautiful wine from Caymus Vineyards.  Although its a separate brand on its own.  It is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Muscat Canelli.  In addition to that they also add small amounts of Sémillon and Viognier.  I first has this wine at my friends Babak Hosseinzadeh’s house and I was blown off my feet at the beautiful aromas and taste of this wine.  Its an excellent food wine that can be enjoyed with  wide variety of international cuisines and a whole range of courses: from appetizers through dessert. To fully enjoy its aromas and flavors, the wine is best served slightly chilled.

Wine makers notes: “Powerful aromas of green apple, tangerine zest and honeysuckle.  Core flavors of apricot, melon, pear and light vanilla are beautifully balanced by the sparkling acidity of citrus fruits. The lush, creamy, mouth-filling texture is heightened by powerful floral and bright tropical fruit notes and leads to a full, powerful finish.”

We enjoyed the wine with a great pasta dish and a wonderful desert that Krista(Babak’s wife) had prepared.

I would rand this wine at 3.5 stars and a good bargain at about $22
