Continuum Estate, founded by the Mondavi family, is renowned for its dedication to crafting exceptional wines from the Napa Valley. The Continuum Red Sage Mountain is a testament to their legacy, offering a blend predominantly composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. This wine hails from the esteemed Sage Mountain Vineyard, located on Pritchard Hill, known for its volcanic soils and ideal microclimate. The winemaking process involves meticulous hand-harvesting, followed by fermentation in a combination of oak and concrete vessels, and aging in French oak barrels to enhance complexity. The resulting wine exhibits a rich flavor profile with notes of dark berries, cassis, and a hint of spice, supported by a firm tannin structure and balanced acidity. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.

This is so aromatic with blackcurrant, blackberry, graphite, iron, pine bark and orange peel. Hints of wild sage and peppermint. Seductive perfumes. Full-bodied with extremely well-integrated tannins that have great length. Elegant firmness at the finish. The quality of the tannins is some of the best I have had in a young Continuum. Seamless silk. Great finish. 45% cabernet sauvignon, 35% cabernet franc, 11% merlot and 9% petit verdot.
