Region: Oakville, Napa Valley, USA
Varietal: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot & 6% Merlot
Tasting Notes: The 2019 Continuum showcases the highest percentage of Cabernet Franc to date revealing the volcanic site and native attributes of Sage Mountain Vineyard. A lively and expressive nose with lifted red fruit, hibiscus, and delicate floral notes. The plush entry on the palate reveals concentrated dark fruit, and youthful black mulberry interweaving with layers of savory wild herb, exotic spice, and graphite. The 2019 Continuum’s mountain fruit expression is enveloped by a supple and silky texture with velvety fine tannins and ferrous minerality. Pleasing all the way though- the 2019 Continuum is an elevated and lush dance of power and grace on the palate.
Owned by Tim Mondavi, Robert Mondavi's son. 2019 Continuum is a significant vintage marking the 100th harvest for the families of Tim and Marcia Mondavi.
