Continuum
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Napa Valley, California, USA
It is time for a delicious Cabernet for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Deep inky in color with a short purple rim.
Fruity nose of blueberries, black cherries, cedar, vanilla, spices, chocolates, herbs, light eucalyptus, black pepper, herbs and black tea.
Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, figs, cedar, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, earth and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This 8 year old from the great 2014 vintage, is drinking very nicely now. Fruit forward, rich and extracted.
Showing great complexity already, and will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.
This Single Vineyard is opulent and very smooth. Gorgeous with generous fruit.
Good right out of the bottle and better after an hour of airtime.
Wine Enthusiasts 93 points. Robert Parker 97 points.
A great sipping wine to have with friends. Good by itself and will pair nicely with a big piece of steak too.
A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 15% Petit Verdot and 5% Merlot.
14.8% alcohol by volume.
95 points.
$225.

Pretty aromatics. Blueberry Lively
Ripe but still some red and blue. Dustyfeel. Hints of coffee grounds. Astringent Pritchard Hill tannins.

Day 2 of Napa in the books!
We were told that we were the first non-employees to taste the ‘16 Continuum. Only decanted an hour or so prior to arrival. Very young. Highlights Pritchard Hill/Sage Canyon wonderfully. The depth here is what is special...heavy/baked black cherry, surrounded by mineral & herbal notes. Ripe and sweet red, blue and black fruits present. Massive in structure to go on for years. Loved this.

Deep and dark purplish ruby. Rich nose with lots of dark cocoa, cassis, black fruits, light graphite and dark gravel. Heavy tannins (7.5/10) and full bodied. A bit of anise on the palate with dark fruits, baking spices, tobacco and some nice minerality. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2035.
This vintage is made up of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 15% Petit Verdot, and 5% Merlot.
