Tasting Note
Continuum Proprietary Red 2018 is richly layered, perfumed, and architecturally precise. Aromas of black cherry, cassis, plum, lavender, graphite, and warm spice rise from the glass, supported by hints of cedar, tobacco leaf, and crushed stone. The palate is powerful yet seamlessly textured, showing dense dark fruit wrapped in fine, polished tannins. Vibrant acidity and mineral tension carry through a long, resonant finish. A beautifully balanced, age-worthy Napa red with both opulence and finesse.
About the Winery, Production & Critical Reputation
Continuum is the legendary Mondavi family’s Pritchard Hill estate, producing one of Napa Valley’s most coveted Bordeaux-style blends. Farmed organically and crafted with meticulous detail by Tim Mondavi, the wine is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Merlot adding lift, perfume, and structure. The 2018 vintage—widely regarded as exceptional in Napa—allowed Continuum to create a wine of purity, tension, and longevity. Critics praised it enthusiastically: Jeb Dunnuck (98), James Suckling (98), and Wine Advocate (97) all highlighted its depth, precision, and world-class refinement. The 2018 stands as one of the finest Continuum releases to date, combining power and elegance in perfect harmony.
