- 2007 or 2008 Conundrum Conundrum’s success as a unique and complex blend of white grapes from California continues in this fresh, lively, deeply-flavored wine. 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.

Special Selection was introduced more than 30 years ago, by developing an intense, structured style of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Napa Valley. Deep garnet color. Beautifully concentrated dark berry and cassis aromas lead to flavors of black cherry, blueberry, ripe currant and cocoa, nicely balanced with toasty oak.
COURSE 5
Stone Fruit Tart with Citrus Mascarpone and Spiced Pecans
2004 Mer Soleil LATE
Santa Lucia Highlands
This is the fourth vintage in which Botrytis cinerea occurred in a small block of Viognier vines at the northern border of the Mer Soleil Vineyard. Deep gold color. Aromas of wildflower honey, ripe fig, and apricots. Flavors of citrus, honey and apricot essence, with a note of brown spices.
