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
- JS99
- 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.
- V97
- A stunning wine, the 2014 Continuum exudes balance and class. Super-ripe red cherry, kirsch, mocha, menthol and rose petal infuse this beautifully layered, fragrant wine. The 2014 is layered and nuanced to the core, all while maintaining sublime finesse. At the outset, the 2014 is gracious and light on it its feet, but time and air bring out the wine's fruit density. Healthy dollops of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot complement the Cabernet Sauvignon nicely. Two thousand-fourteen is also the first vintage that incorporates co-fermented lots.
