Lovely Napa Cab as always. PnP. Dark fruit, decent amount of oak, and gritty tannins. Pretty juicy wine. Medium plus length and finish. — 7 days ago

PnP. Very dark red, almost purple color. Anise, dark cherries, chocolate, eucalyptus, and alcohol on the nose. Same on the palate with subtle peppermint and oak. Medium plus depth, big wine, but does fade after a few hours open. Very nice but too much alcohol for me. — 14 days ago

Such a great food wine!

Classic orange/gold color. Less acidic and bold as prior vintages. Orange, melons, and spaghetti sauce (??) dominate. Lovely texture,

1hr+ decant. After 3 hours the high alcohol finally blew off and the wine blossomed.

Dark red color. Awesome nose of candied cherries, graphite, bramble, and dirt. The alcohol still present on the palate with big tannins. Has some Italian elements. Good depth and long finish.

The conundrum with Continuum continues :)

PnP’d, thought that might be the trick. Was great to start but after 20-30 minutes devolved into a strange, astringent Napa Cab or CDP. Still can’t figure this wine out.
