Continuum Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2015
99 Points - limited Continuum is the new tiny production Cabernet from the Mondavi Family. Extremely limited. 98+ Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "Bottled just a few months ago, the 2015 Continuum is shaping up to be a real gem. The flavors are dark, bold and incisive. In 2015, poor weather during flowering took with it 50% of the production in Continuum's prime Cabernet Sauvignon blocks. As a result, the 2015 has a high percentage (31%) of Cabernet Franc. Today, the Franc is keeping the wine a bit clenched, but that should be less of an issue as time passes." 98 Points James Suckling: "Fabulous aromas of blueberries, blackcurrants, sage and mint. Lead pencil and graphite, too. Full body and ultra-fine tannins that are slowly transformed to ripe and beautiful fruit. Super polished and textured. Great finish. Drink in 2022, but it's hard not to drink now. This harkens back to the great Mondavi reserves of the 1970s in texture and construction." Brix26 Inside Scoop: After the sale of the Robert Mondavi winery, winemaker Tim Mondavi chose to focus on one wine and one varietal: Continuum is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from Continuum's Estate vineyard on Napa Valley's Pritchard Hill, one of the priciest Cabernet regions in all of California with neighbors like Colgin, Bryant Family and Chappellet. It's a beautiful site and judging from the Continuum 2013 Cabernet will be among Napa's most coveted collector wines.

Wow...i f***king loved this. It split the table somewhat but I'm most definately a fan. Deep and luxurious with mouth coating tannins, dark berries and Vanilla. This goes on and on. 97 now but in 10, 15 or 20 years this wine will crush it. Fabulous display of wine making (Extra point for one of the most attractive labels I've seen)

Drinking very well. Less than 15 minutes of air takes this wine far. Glycerin, smooth aromatics of honey churned preserves, lovely with a big finish.
