Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Mainly sourced from To Kalon vineyard and blended of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc and 16% Petit Verdot, the 2006 Proprietary Red has a deep garnet-brick color and slips sensuously out of the glass with perfumed incense and potpourri scents over notions of menthol, figs and dried mulberries with touches of fruitcake and cigar box. The palate is big, concentrated, full-bodied, firm and chewy, finishing long and spicy.

Continuum is the culmination of four generations of the Mondavi family in wine. Tim and Marcia, along with their families, focused on finding an exceptional hillside site in pursuit of a wine that would rank among the greatest in the world. The Continuum estate is located on Pritchard Hill along the eastern ridge of Napa Valley, high above Oakville, Sage Mountain Vineyard is nested in nature, with rocky volcanic soils producing a small, precious crop. This site yields wine of power, depth, nuance and verve.
Tim Mondavi believes that wine is an artistic expression of man's harmony with nature and as such, the winegrowing practices at Continuum estate honor and support the vineyards through balancing the essence of classic techniques with modern day innovations and organic farming. Continuum's goal is to craft balanced wine of power, finesse and elegance - red wines that are expressions of the land, the people and the vintage.
