The 2022 Continuum is composed of 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Cabernet Franc, 8% Petit Verdot, and 4% Merlot. Deep garnet-purple colored, it erupts from the glass with bold scents of crème de cassis, blueberry pie, and menthol, leading to hints of crushed rocks, iris bulb, and underbrush plus a waft of Indian spices. Full-bodied, the palate is rich and opulent, delivering a velvety texture with grainy accents and bags of freshness, finishing long and spicy.

An intensely expressive nose of rich mulberry and raspberry fruit, lifted by fragrant sagebrush, blue agave, and delicate violet florals. Cocoa-powder tannins frame the medium to full-bodied palate, where the fruit is deeply concentrated yet remarkably weightless. This is a beautifully constructed wine, crafted with precision yet driven by an emotional resonance that lingers with each sip. A blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Cabernet Franc, 8% Petit Verdot, and 4% Merlot, aged for 21 months on the lees in 58% new French oak and 3% in concrete amphora. Sourced from Continuum’s Sage Mountain Vineyard on Pritchard Hill, comprising 42 distinct vineyard blocks planted between 400 and 490 metres in elevation. The views are breathtaking, but the wine is genuinely extraordinary.

Continuum's 2022 Proprietary Red is a blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Cabernet Franc, 8% Petit Verdot and 4% Merlot, aged 21 months in 58% new French oak. Attention-grabbing cherries lead the way, although there are darker undertones of plum and black olive, plus hints of dried sage, menthol and tobacco. It's medium- to full-bodied and silky in feel, and the tannins are smooth and harmonious but present, lingering easily on the lengthy finish.
