Why We're Buying
Continuum is the brainchild of Tim Mondavi, son of legendary winemaker Robert Mondavi. Continuum offers a delicious, fresh, and rich-styled red wine that contrasts with his father's lighter and younger offerings. Expect to pay well into the triple digits for a single bottle.
Critics Scores
Jeb Dunnuck
Coming all from the Sage Mountain Vineyard on Pritchard Hill, the 2019 Proprietary Red Wine is a blend of 54 Cabernet Sauvignon, 31 Cabernet Franc, 9 Petit Verdot and 6 Merlot. This is classic 2018 with its dense, concentrated, slightly backward, yet full-bodied and incredibly impressive style. Offering lots of ripe black (black cherry, currant) fruits, scorched earth, graphite, and chocolate-like aromatics, it has terrific concentration, ripe, building tannins, a terrific sense of freshness, and a great finish. It's going to need 5-7 years of bottle age but will have upwards of three decades of overall longevity.
James Suckling
Blackberries, dark wet soil and blackcurrants. Graphite, too. So aromatic. Pure fruit. Full-bodied with superbly polished, fine tannins that draw you down through the center of palate. Extremely layered and the texture is so curated, giving wonderful persistence. Real plushness and fine, velvety texture. 50 cabernet sauvignon, 37 cabernet franc, 7 petit verdot and 6 merlot. Better after 2026.
