IMO Continuum is not a Napa Cab

32

Pritchard Hill isn’t in the Napa AVA?

Or are you referring to the blend that goes into Continuum?

33

The blend, sometimes only 65ish% Cabernet Sauvignon.

34

Nada.

35

Is that a new cult producer?

Also what about your other 2 favorites?

MacDonald
Togni or Forman
Myriad Dr. Crane

Seems like MacDonald is a clear winner. Never had it but must be good, will have to seek a bottle. Do they make more than one wine or different vineyards?

Surprised no one mention any of the Fairchild wines.

No, its not for a blog or report, just to see what bottles I maybe missing to try. I’ve had the Maybach and it was a wow experience.

My Top 3 (keep in mind I haven’t had several of the ones mention)

  1. Maybach Materium
  2. Myriad Dr. Crane Elysian
  3. Bond Melbury

Others that i like VHR (2011, 2012), Pulido Walker Panek, Realm Hyoui
