Continuum Novicium Sage Mountain Vineyard Napa Red 2018 - 750ml

94pts Wine Enthusiast

Fresh and vibrant, with a welcoming blast of cassis, cherry puree and plum reduction flavors, laced liberally with red licorice, sassafras and floral notes and a hint of singed vanilla. The long finish is harnessed by fine-grained structure. Approachable, but no rush. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot.

Description

The 2018 Continuum Novicium is a high-altitude Bordeaux-style red blend from Continuum Estate’s Sage Mountain Vineyard on Pritchard Hill in Napa Valley. Often described as the estate's "second wine," it is a more approachable but still deeply complex expression of the same rocky, volcanic terroir used for the flagship Continuum Proprietary Red
