{"title":"Continuum","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Mondavi family has been making wine in the Napa Valley for over 100 years. Few families have had the influence that they have on not only California wine, but the world of wine. Continuum is the continuation of the Mondavi winemaking legacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContinuum was founded in 2005 by Tim Mondavi, Marcia Mondavi Borger, and their families. While the first few vintages were sourced from To-Kalon, a site of great pedigree and representing the family’s past. Now, Continuum is centered on the Mountain Sage Vineyard on the slopes of Pritchard Hill.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn line with its name, Continuum wine is not static; it isn’t made by formula. This wine, and its wine making, are in motion, slowly changing over time. Whether that is the shifting proportion of more Cabernet Franc and less Cabernet Sauvignon or the curtailing of new French oak ageing, the winemaking is a meditation on learning and humility. Tim and his team acknowledge that grape growing and wine making are never done. Even with four generations of experience and an incredible amount of institutional knowledge, there is always something to learn. Never resting on their laurels, the Mondavi’s continue to ask questions of themselves and the world of wine; always looking to understand their work more deeply.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSentium by Chiara Mondavi is a project that reflects the next generation’s voice and vision in California winemaking. Sentium is rooted in the same values as Continuum but is a project all her own. The fruit comes from organically farmed vineyards in Mendocino. Sentium is a companion to Continuum and a glimpse into the future of Mondavi innovation and legacy generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContinuum and Sentium are more than two wines. They are a vision. They are more than 100 years of collective experience. They are a celebration and exploration of discovery and learning.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"continuum-napa-valley","title":"Continuum Napa Valley","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eContinuum is estate grown on Sage Mountain Vineyard, perched high on Pritchard Hill along the eastern ridge above Oakville, overlooking Napa Valley and the San Francisco Bay. The vineyard's rocky, volcanic soils and elevation between 1,300 and 1,600 feet keep yields low and concentrate the fruit, while vines averaging 20 years old across 42 distinct blocks lend the wine its layered complexity. Entirely estate grown, produced, and bottled, the wine is hand harvested at night, gently fermented with regular pumpovers, and aged 21 months in barrel sur lie before being bottled without fining or filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAromatically effusive, Continuum is a seductive wine with an upright, regal core, elegant notes of black plum, black cherry, cacao, forest floor, and tobacco leaf mingle with sage mountain garrigue and volcanic minerality.

Decanting is recommended to open up its aromatics and soften the palate, and while approachable now, it will reward extended aging.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Continuum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64360933196145,"sku":"T1170-22","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/1731\/9863\/files\/CONTINUUM_NAPAVALLEY_T1170-22_FRONT.png?v=1786100324"},{"product_id":"sentium-sauvignon-blanc-mendocino","title":"Sentium Sauvignon Blanc Mendocino","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSentium is a dream realized by the fourth generation of the Mondavi winegrowing family, born from three generations of experience crafting Fumé Blanc into a Sauvignon Blanc that can stand among the great wines of the world.
