Wine Spotlight: 2011 Continuum

Great estates, when combined with intensive farming practices, have an advantage in that they produce superior wines every year. Continuum, an estate winery started by the Mondavi family, is no exception to this rule. We're offering the exceptional 2011 Continuum at $155.99 -- that's a savings of 16% ($30) OFF the usual $185 price tag.
 

For generations the Mondavi family have grown and produced wines among the world's finest. In 2005, Robert, Tim, and Marcia Mondavi set out on a new venture to produce a single estate wine. The result was Continuum, an estate winery that celebrates excellence and tradition in wine making. The Mondavi family utilizes over 40 years of wine making prowess to produce outstanding wines that set the benchmark for California Estate wines. Every vintage since 2005 vintage has landed at the top of rating charts, boasting consecutive scores of 93 points or better.

2011 is the current release from Continuum estate and promises to be one of the finest yet. The 2011 has a deep red robe, black highlights, and a vibrant violet rim. Primary aromas of black cherry, mulberry, rose petal and coffee develop greater nuance as the wine breathes, revealing red cherry, chocolate, fig, and cardamom. On the palate, ripe damson plum, savory aged beef and allspice infuse the wine's silky tannins and rich velvety texture. The 2011 is full yet supple, with a long and complex finish and a vibrant core of minerality.
 

If you want to enjoy Continuum now, we recommend decanting the wine for the fullest sensory experience. Decanting awakens the wine's pure fragrant expression and enhances the suppleness of the palate. There is no hurry to pop the cork on this fine specimen, as it will truly shine with time. Perhaps the best route is to purchase a few bottles. Enjoy one now and save a couple for later. This vintage can be held in your cellar for the next 10-15 years.
