"…ganz große Frische, weniger blaubeerig als vielmehr extrem schön, reife rotbeerige Kirschen, klasse, pure Eleganz, fein, mittlerer Körper, fein florale Noten im Finish, feines Kokos" (08/2024)
Decanter: 95 Punkte
"A blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Petite Sirah, and 1% Charbono, sourced from top vineyard sites, including Bourn for Petite Sirah, Tofanelli for Charbono, and selections from Upper Range, Moon Racer, Blair (Calistoga), and Farella. This wine delivers Realm's rich, dark fruit signature, with excellent density and concentration, building on the full-bodied palate. Suave, well-integrated tannins frame notes of tobacco and liquid graphite, driving a long, mineral-laced finish. Crunchy dark berry fruit and wild sweet herbs add complexity, promising further refinement with age — a cellar-worthy wine in this vintage." - Jonathan Cristaldi (02/2025)
