The Winery

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.

Tasting Notes

WA92
Another strong effort by Tim Mondavi from this relatively new project on Pritchard Hill, the 2011 Continuum’s final blend was 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petit Verdot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 2% Merlot. Harvested late, between October 17 and November 3, it spent 19 months in 85% new French oak. The wine’s impressive deep ruby/plum/purple color is followed by notes of blackcurrants, black cherries and spring flowers. Like most 2011s, it has evolved early, but it is a medium to full-bodied beauty that represents one of the most successful wines of the vintage. Drink it now and over the next 12-16 years.
