Why We're Buying
This Bordeaux-style red blend reflects Tim Mondavi’s pursuit of the purest expression of Napa Valley. It utilizes fruit exclusively from his Pritchard Hill vineyard to ensure a singular focus. In the process, Continuum has amassed five perfect scores from critics, three more than contemporaries like Opus One. The 2019 Continuum matches the grandeur of the momentous 2018 vintage. It features opulent waves of dark fruit, red berries, pine needles, graphite, cinnamon, and a splash of vanilla that evolves with time. With industry insiders declaring the 2019 vintage “excellent,” everything has aligned just right for Continuum’s continued success. The Final Sip: Iconic producer. Iconic vineyard. Heaps of praise from critics. What more could you want from Continuum?
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.
