Professional Wine Ratings
Professional wine ratings are scored by the groups listed below. These ratings are based on a 100-point scale and are entered into the WineLog database by users like you.
The problem with professional wine rating systems is that the score of the wine depends on the person doing the rating. So, while you may use these professional ratings as some indication of the wine's quality, we urge you to place more weight on the WineLog five-star rating, if available, as it is an average measure of the general public's impression of that wine.
Wine Spectator
95-100, Classic; 90-94, Outstanding; 85-89, Very Good; 80-84, Good
96-100, Extraordinary; 90-95, Outstanding; 80-89, Barely above average to very good
Wine & Spirits
95-100, Superlative/Rare finds; 90-94, Exceptional examples of their type; 86-89, Highly recommended; 80-85, Recommended as good examples of their variety/region

San Francisco Chronicle, October 26, 2007. "This proprietary blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Muscat Canelli, with splashes of Semillon and Viognier, makes a lovely floral-citrus aperitif, but is also a terrific match with many styles of Asian food. This vintage's grapes come from Napa, Monterey, Santa Barbara and Tulare counties. Its ripe melon and floral flavors are strengthened with just enough acidity to make it at once refreshing and foodworthy."
Wine Spectator, August 31, 2007: Rated: 88 points. "Wildly fragrant, with honeysuckle, jasmine and peach aromatics. Shows an intriguing medley of melon, nectarine and passion fruit flavors, with juicy acidity and a long, lingering finish."
Santa Rosa Press Democrat, November 8, 2006: Wine of the Week. Rated: 4 Stars. "An impressive white blend...the complexity of the blend makes it a tasty food-pairing wine. The first sip is all soft sweetness and light...name any tropical fruit and you will imagine you are tasting it in this wine. It is natural and all but inevitable to try to put a name to the varietal, or varietals, we are sipping. Yet Conundrum is intentionally wily in this regard. It wants you to wonder and to speculate while you enjoy. If conversation around the Thanksgiving table becomes strained, this wine could save the day."
