THE STORY

About this wine

A 2019 proprietary red blend, 100% estate-grown on Pritchard Hill in Napa Valley — 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Cabernet Franc, with Petit Verdot and Merlot behind them. Full-bodied and dry at 14.9% ABV, with concentrated dark fruit, graphite, and fine velvety tannins.

The 2019 Continuum is a 100% estate-grown, produced, and bottled proprietary red blend from Sage Mountain Vineyard on Pritchard Hill above Oakville in Napa Valley. The vintage also marked the 100th harvest for the Tim and Marcia Mondavi families.

Worth knowing

Thirty-seven percent Cabernet Franc — the highest share Continuum has ever put in the blend. That grape is the clearest read on this volcanic hillside, and the 2019 gives it the most room it's ever had.

CHARACTERISTICS AND TASTING TIPS OF THE Continuum Red Blend 2019

Tasting

Color: Deep, saturated purple.
Nose: Lifted and expressive — hibiscus, violets, and red fruit arrive first, black cherry behind them. Sage, bay leaf, and dried flowers sit underneath, with graphite, gravel, and exotic spice emerging last.
Palate: Full-bodied and plush, silk from the start. Concentrated dark fruit and youthful black mulberry lead, with savory wild herb, graphite, and dark chocolate running beneath.

Pairs Beautifully With

A must try with Grilled red meat
A must try with Herb-crusted roast lamb
A must try with Aged hard cheeses
