Continuum Oakville Red Blend 2011 Rated 95+VM – $239.95
VinoUS Media Review
Rated 95+
One of the wines of the vintage, the 2011 Continuum is just as beautiful as it has always been. Crystalline, pure and wonderfully nuanced in the glass, the 2011 offers gorgeous aromatics, finely-sculpted fruit and fabulous overall balance. Sweet rose petal, dark-fleshed stone fruits, mint, spices and leather are some of the signatures. With several years in the bottle the 2011 is becoming more and more exotic, with a captivating interplay of aromatics, fruit and a classically inspired sense of structure. Once again, the 2011 Continuum shows just how strong the vintage can be in the right places. (Antonio Galloni)
Wine Tasting Notes
Continuum has a dense purple robe and vibrant violet rim lead to aromas of cassis, cardamom, espresso and graphite. A full-bodied wine, with a supple palate and finely sculpted tannins, 2011 shows damson plum, black cherry and roasted coffee notes and a long, complex finish. Our finest vintage yet, 2011 is a wine to savor and enjoy through all the seasons of its opulent, and age worthy life.
