Continuum Proprietary Red 2015 Willamette Valley

Continuum Proprietary Red 2015 Willamette ValleyFrom estate wide average yields of just 1. 3 tons per acre, the 2015 Proprietary Red is a blend of 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Cabernet Franc, 17% Petit Verdot and 6% Merlot. It's a full bodied, lush and velvety effort, with classic scents of ripe cherries and dark chocolate accented by sage, bay and floral nuances and with a long, complex and still gently tannic finish. 96 points Wine Advocate
