Product Description
LP96 "A blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot, and 4% Merlot, the 2009 Continuum was made with 82% of the fruit from Pritchard Hill and the remainder from Diamond Mountain, Mt. Veeder, and St. Helena. It is deep garnet-colored and glides gracefully out of the glass with notions of warm cassis, blackberry preserves, and kirsch, plus suggestions of pencil shavings, unsmoked cigars, cumin seed, and cast-iron pan. Full-bodied, the palate is packed with muscular black fruits, supported by firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing with loads of mineral and earth layers." LPB for TWI Jun 2023
AG95+ "The 2009 Continuum is still in that part of its life where fruit and texture dominate, while the more aromatic qualities are yet to fully emerge. A rich, explosive wine, the 2009 can be enjoyed young for its exuberance, but the best is yet to come. Personally, I would wait a bit on the 2009. The finish is rich, layered and sumptuous."
