Continuum Red Wine Napa Valley 2021

Continuum Red Wine Napa Valley 2021

98-100 points Lisa-Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Independent):

“This note is written before the final blend of the 2021 Continuum. Deep purple-black in color, it hits the ground running with an intense nose of red and black currant preserves, lilacs, baker’s chocolate, and graphite, leading to an undercurrant of black olives and red loam. On the medium to full-bodied palate it is very lively, grainy and super-concentrated, finishing long and shimmery. Drink: 2028-2060. (6/7/23)”

99 points, ‘Top 100 Wines of 2024 (#89),’ James Suckling:

“Blackberries, dark wet soil and blackcurrants. Graphite, too. So aromatic. Pure fruit. Full-bodied with superbly polished, fine tannins that draw you down through the center of palate. Extremely layered and the texture is so curated, giving wonderful persistence. Real plushness and fine, velvety texture. 50% cabernet sauvignon, 37% cabernet franc, 7% petit verdot and 6% merlot. Better after 2026. (3/6/24)”
