Continuum 2019 Continuum is an expansive and vigorous red wine, with the mineral character provided by volcanic soils. Exquisitely balanced. The grapes are selectively harvested by hand and sorted before and after destemming and then placed in French oak or concrete tanks for fermentation. There are three or four pump-overs per day and two or three rackings during the most active period of fermentation. Critical Acclaim 95 Wine Enthusiast From the mighty estate site on Pritchard Hill, this robustly muscular wine consists of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Cabernet Franc (the highest amount ever), 7% Petit Verdot and 6% Merlot. Herbal, it shows notes of violet, graphite and tobacco alongside layers of rich red and black currant. The tannins are substantial and grippy, not quite ready to play nice on the palate. Lay this one down and enjoy it best 2029–2039. Show more
