Continuum Red Blend Napa Valley 2019

About three miles east of the Silverado Trail is a windy, steep road leading to the iconic Continuum winery. Perched high on top of the prestigious Pritchard Hill above Oakville, the property boasts one of the most epic views in Napa Valley. On a clear day, you can even see San Francisco. With such illustrious neighbors as Colgin, Bryant Family, Ovid, Nine Suns, Melanson Vineyard, and Chappellet, since 2008, Tim Mondavi's Continuum Estate sits among some of the most esteemed and coveted wines of all the Napa Valley and remains one of the most regal and revered estates on Pritchard Hill.

The 2019 Continuum showcases the highest percentage of Cabernet Franc to date, revealing the volcanic site and native attributes of Sage Mountain Vineyard. A lively and expressive nose with lifted red fruit, hibiscus, and delicate floral notes. The plush entry on the palate reveals concentrated dark fruit, and youthful black mulberry interweaving with layers of savory wild herb, exotic spice, and graphite. A supple and silky texture envelops the 2019 Continuum’s mountain fruit expression with velvety fine tannins and ferrous minerality. Pleasing all the way though- the 2019 Continuum is an elevated and lush dance of power and grace on the palate.
