A 100 point rated Napa Valley Red Wine blend from Tim Mondavi, the former winemaker of Opus One and Robert Mondavi Winery, that showcases four generations of Mondavi family winemaking.
Tasting Notes: The 2016 Continuum Napa Valley Red Wine Blend, hailed as a California First Growth, features citrus blossom and rose petal aromatics, and builds in power and presence on the palate with cassis, dark fruits, bergamot, and dried wild herb with notes of cigar box and leather. Exquisitely balanced, expansive and sinewy on the mid palate with a graphite and earthy minerality. The firm iron core of these volcanic soils causes the vines to struggle, producing fewer but more flavorful berries.
