Continuum
Continuum is the project of Tim Mondavi, whose father, Robert Mondavi, was the great visionary of high quality for Napa Valley's wines. After the sale of the iconic Robert Mondavi company, Tim established a new winery on Pritchard Hill, not far from Bryant Family Vineyard and Colgin Estate. There Mondavi legacy lives on ("continues") in the form of Continuum Estate.

Impressive purity of fruit and definition with black currant, oyster shell, blueberries and slate. Graphite too. Very complex yet subtle. Full-bodied, very chewy and powerful yet polished and gorgeous. Muscular, well-formed tannins. Electric style. Best ever from here. Drink in 2020.Inc. VAT£1,487.86 -
Vinous (100)
The 2016 Proprietary Red Wine Sage Mountain Vineyard may very well be the single greatest vintage made here thus far. It is quite simply a stunning wine and a towering achievement from the Mondavi family. Powerful, ample and sweeping in stature, the 2016 boasts breathtaking intensity in all of its dimensions. I see the pure, vibrant fruit of the 2013, but with more finessed tannins that add to the wine's feeling of real sensuality. Bright, precise and finely sculpted with remarkable persistence and perfectly integrated tannins, the 2016 is positively stellar - not to mention one of the wines of the vintage.Inc. VAT£1,433.24
