Continuum
“Artistic wine is an expression of man’s harmony with nature. For four generations our family has created a continuum of wine excellence, enhancing the celebration of life.”
– Tim Mondavi, Proprietor
Founded in 2005 by Robert Mondavi and two of his children, Tim and Marcia, Continuum is a winery located in the unofficial appellation of Pritchard Hill in Napa Valley. Although it was not until 2012 that the winery was entirely sourcing their fruit from the estate, they have always taken pride in obtaining grapes from some of the best vineyards in the valley including Marjorie’s Vineyard and To Kalon. The winery’s flagship wine is a Bordeaux-style red dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, and sells out mainly through allocation. Continuum also makes a second label, Novicium, which is Merlot-dominant and made from newer plots on the estate.

This is a beautiful vintage for Continuum, with a dense bluish/purple color and a beautiful nose of blueberries, violets, a touch of licorice, truffle and background oak. This full-bodied wine displays beautifully sweet and well-integrated tannin as well as loads of forest floor and spice box. A complex, Bordeaux-styled wine, it is approachable and dramatic, even ostentatious, as many 2012s tend to be, so there’s no harm in drinking it now or cellaring it for another 20+ years.
- WS94
- A Pauillac-like expression of fresh-cut flowers, gravelly tannins and rich, graphite-laced currant and dark berry flavors. The tannins flex their sinewy strength, leading to a gutsy melted black licorice accent on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon,…
