Tasting Note
Nicholas Jackson: This is the first vintage where Continuum is 100% estate fruit. 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Cabernet Franc (a favourite variety of Tim Mondavi), 6% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. The fruit is grown at 1500 feet on sand and west facing slopes. As usual with this wine, I find an interesting hint of orange. Already very approachable - very elegant and soft, detailed and fine. Long, generous finish. Very nicely done - excellent Napa.
