To quote my two friends @Martin G Rivard and @Mike Rowe this is a bad ass wine eliciting smiles all around (and a great way to start 2017). Parker gave this a perfect score and it is a beauty. Decanting is a must at this point. It's been opening up over the last 4 hours and think it will continue to improve if I can sip more slowly lol. Slightly cloudy, and a bright purple in the glass. On the nose, cassis, vanilla and toast dominate. The sips are long and driven by fruit (blue and blackberries and cassis). Liquid silk in the mouth with sweet tannins and a surprisingly strong acidity. The finish is long. This is a total baby but I had to try it. Happy New Year to all my Delectable friends and especially to my fellow Wine Nerd Herd. I've always believed that sharing wine with friends is the greatest gift and this app has enabled me to do that with friends near and far and connect with some great people. May 2017 be a year of great health and happiness and may all our glasses be full! — 8 years ago
I really enjoyed this wine. It's a sweet wine but I feel the higher alcohol content (12%) evens it out. If you like peaches and like sweet wine I'd recommend. — 9 years ago
Very sweet. Not dry. — 10 years ago
Tangy and tart with pepper building through the finish. Leather throughout with chewy tannins and solid acid lingering. — 7 years ago
When ur like oh this is a delicious pomelo and ur friend is like its a grapefruit dude and ur like I could have sworn.. Light ass bubbles — 8 years ago
Very intense. Powerful gunpowder, flint, lime. A dazzling and broad midpalate. Really juicy and focused with none of the over-ripeness you sometimes see in 05. Killer. No signs of premox and will probably kick ass in 20 years on this showing. — 8 years ago
In contrast to the Chappellet this was rocking although 5 years younger and both from Pritchard Hill. Deep dark fruits, chocolate, black cherry and some oak but very well integrated. I've never opened a Continuum that doesn't kick ass. Young but no reason to wait. — 9 years ago
This is by far the best cheap ass wine there is. I think I paid only a few bucks for this excellent wine. Perfect for a BBQ or a grilled marinated steak. Tonight this great bottle went down with a 4lbs marinated London Broil, Papas Bravas, sweet potatoes, carrots, radishes. The wine was big thick juicy, not to sweet and with some funk in the back. Love it. — 10 years ago

Fun wine to start the Holiday. Kick ass label. Totally didn’t get the name until it was explained to me. May have been a blonde moment. Very dark red with blackberry jam. — 7 years ago
