Any thoughts from the heard regarding this release? The flagship Continuum is now $270/btl…3-pak minimum. Novicium $160/btl…3-pak min.
Things are getting so pricey so I need to do my vetting more now.
Thank you,
Anything 18 or 19 Napa will be as good as the label has made if I were to guess.
I had the 19 at the estate. The wine is good, but liked the 18 better and with the price increase I’m passing this year.
So, no continuum in your purchasing?
Correct I won’t be purchasing anything
I went ahead and bought a 3 pack today… but I did flinch at the price. I just buy so little Napa so decided to pull the trigger here.
270 a bottle? Whoa…
Discontinuued!
Continuum has sentimental value to me for a few reasons so take my opinion with that in mind.
I built a vertical from 05-13 and have sporadically bought since then. There were a few vintages that were showing up cheaper at retail but then it seems that distribution completely dried up the last few years. I pulled the trigger since it’s my sons birth year and it was on my short list of must buys for significant vintages.
Quoted prices include shipping and OWC which should factor into the purchase judgment. Also, if you compare their price to their Pritchard Hill and Stagecoach neighbors, it seems like a crazy good deal. I also love well done cab franc!
