The brand new 2020 edition of Continuum ‘Novicium’ contains a significant percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon that is typically reserved for the winery’s flagship bottling and vividly displays why the fruit from their Pritchard Hill Estate is coveted by collectors world-wide. This rare treasure features a delicious level of dark, opulent fruit that we know collectors adore from Napa’s biggest blockbusters (e.g. Schrader). Aromas of Chambord and blueberry pie lead to notes of blackberry, cola, dark cherry, plum, pipe tobacco, vanilla cream and caramel. We recommend decanting prior to 2025 and predict this sensational gem will continue to thrill through 2030+. – March 2023

Continuum Winery

Continuum ‘Novicium’ is the winery’s secret bottling typically reserved for visitors to the mountaintop estate. Since Porthos was the first to recommend Continuum to our collectors (decades ago), the Mondavi family has generously designated Porthos as the only source in America for this unique Cabernet blend! ‘Novicium’ is old Latin for “new” and “fresh.” This bottling is crafted to be slightly more approachable (earlier) in style and price compared to their world-famous Estate bottling. The blend will vary each vintage and this 2020 edition contains a significant percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon typically reserved for Continuum Estate’s flagship bottling.
