Continuum Proprietary Red Napa Valley 2016
We’ve always liked Tim’s wines from Continuum, but really, 2016 is on another plane of existence. It’s such a terrific vintage across the Valley, but in this incredibly rocky Pritchard Hill terroir with its cooling influence from nearby Lake Hennessey, it is just out of this world. This property is really firing on all cylinders these last couple vintages after becoming 100% estate grown and produced just a few years ago. This has that ineffable coiled power of First Growth quality, young Bordeaux, truly...tongue tying and brain-rattling!! Did we say wow?
For sure, the greatest Tim Mondavi (post Mondavi Winery) wine I have tasted, and so far it looks like the critics agree. Wine Advocate 99 points out of the gate, Suckling just upgraded it to 100 and 94-97 Vinous! Super limited, we have just a few cases...please don’t miss! Just one bottle left and that's all!
