Continuum Estate Continuum 2023 Review

Since 2012 this family project has been crafted from estate fruit. Founded by brother and sister Tim and Marcia Mondavi, children of California’s famed Robert Mondavi, Continuum takes the Mondavi family winemaking to the next generation. The two developed this brand in 2019 as an idea for a "First Growth" wine in Napa Valley. You can detect the attention to detail that went into making this wine from the first sip. It opens with generous notes of ripe raspberries, blackberries, plums, leather, vanilla, and spice. The palate is a velvet pillow of fruit, framed by supple tannins. It’s full-bodied at 14.9 percent ABV, but all of it somehow comes together into a nice, neat package.
