The 2013 Proprietary Red Continuum is a blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Cabernet Franc, 9% Petit Verdot and 4% Merlot. The wine has matured for about 20 months on 80% new French oak This is a flawless masterpiece in the cap because what a wonderful wine this will be after a few years of plating. The wine has a dense ruby red / purple color with beautiful notes of blueberries, black cherries, graphite and a hint of earth. The wine is full bodied with a wonderful integration of acids, tannins, oak and alcohol. The tannins are still clearly present but silky and well integrated. This is a masterpiece by Tim Mondavi and his teams is a wine that can gracefully grow old without problems.
