[Cornell Wine] Continuum Propriety Red Offer

[Beard Michael]

CORNELL WINE COMPANY
CONTINUUM 2005 PROPRIETY RED
Pre-Arrival Offer

This is the first release produced by a partnership set up by the  
late Robert Mondavi and his son and daughter, Tim and Marcia, after  
the sale of the Mondavi winery to Constellation Brands.  Consider it  
as OPUS ONE on the (slightly) cheap!

The wine is a blend of 58% CABERNET SAUVIGNON, 23% CABERNET FRANC and  
19% PETIT VERDOT produced from grapes grown on vineyards the family  
has farmed for generations.  From Robert Parker in The Wine Advocate:

“This is the first wine Tim has produced since Constellation  
purchased the Robert Mondavi winery.  An excellent beginning, this  
2005 exhibits a dense ruby/purple color followed by a beautiful nose  
of lead pencil shavings intermixed with crème de cassis, subtle wood  
smoke, and hints of bay leaves as well as spring flowers.  Full- 
bodied with lovely purity, nicely integrated wood, tannin, acidity,  
and alcohol, and a long finish reminiscent of a classic Boedeaux  
Pauillac, while accessible, it should age effortlessly for 15 or more  
years – 95 points.”

The wine will be available late November.

On a pre-paid basis we offer the following:

Single bottles:  $135.00
Three bottle wooden case:  $365.00
Six bottle wooden case:  $675.00

If you have any interest, please let me know ASAP.  I will need a  
valid credit card number to secure your order.

Very little is coming into Oregon and I have to get my request in.   
All orders will be serviced in order reservations are received.

Cheers,

Mick
