Continuum Estate Proprietary Red 2016 – Napa Valley
by Continuum Estate
One of the most celebrated vintages from this iconic mountain estate, Continuum 2016 is widely regarded as a near-perfect expression of power, precision, and harmony — combining Napa Valley richness with extraordinary freshness and structure.
Crafted entirely from Continuum’s estate vineyards on Pritchard Hill, where volcanic soils and elevation produce wines of great concentration and mineral tension. Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blend, supported by classic Bordeaux varieties for depth and balance.
This vintage benefits from ideal growing conditions, delivering both intensity and elegance in equal measure.
