Continuum Red Bordeaux Blend Oakville 2006
Winemaker Notes:
2006 was in many ways an ideal year for Continuum’s Cabernet family vineyards. After a stormy
late winter season, spring brought mild winds, abundant sunshine and warm temperatures; ideal conditions for budbreak
and bloom. Early season heat spikes were easily weathered. Labor Day’s typical heat wave failed to materialize; instead a cool,
dry ripening season lasted all the way through early November, allowing us to bring in the grapes at optimal ripeness. The
resulting wines are concentrated, full-bodied and perfectly ripe.
Rainfall in 2006 was extraordinarily abundant. A total of 52.4 inches fell in Oakville for the season with 14 of those
in March and April. Temperatures were cooler than normal in the spring delaying flowering, a temperature trend that
continued through June. While July had a spell of 100* plus days, August cooled down quite a bit with no high temperature
days recorded that month. September and October continued this cool temprature trend for the year.
Over the course of seven decades the Mondavi family has worked with superior Napa Valley vineyards.
