"…(Frucht aus Lagen von Farella und Oak Knoll) sehr schöne nein tolle Frucht, feine Schokonote, sehr elegant, tolle Finesse, feines Marzipan am Gaumen, vielleicht bester Tempest bisher" (09/2024)


Decanter: 94 Punkte

"A blend of 67% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Cabernet Franc, sourced from Farella and an Oak Knoll vineyard for Merlot, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc from Upper Range. In past vintages, the fruit came more from up-valley, but shifting south has been a positive move for freshness, says co-owner Scott Becker. This vintage offers dusty mineral richness with subtle notes of crunchy wild herbs. Medium-bodied, it showcases generous red-berry fruit and warming sweet spices. The ripe, fleshy tannins add weight and depth, resolving into a finish of vibrant red berries, zesty acidity, and lingering spice." - Jonathan Cristaldi (02/2025)

A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, the 2022 The Tempest is bright and nicely focused, with terrific energy and fine balance. Crushed red berry fruit, orange peel, mint and white pepper add pretty top notes and energy. Attractive floral tones extend the finish. This is a very beautiful wine.

The 2022 The Tempest checks in as 67% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc. It has a juicy, vibrant, incredibly lively profile as well as beautiful darker red and blue berry fruits, some tobacco, violets, and spicy nuances. It's medium to full-bodied, has a balanced mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. While this cuvée is still based on Merlot, the focus here has shifted to a more ethereal, vibrant style of Merlot. (01/2025)

The 2022 The Tempest is a blend of 67% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 23% Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes skipping out of the glass with bright, cheery notes of black raspberries, mulberries, and kirsch, leading to hints of lavender, wild sage, and aniseed. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers bright, crunchy fruit with firm, fine-grained tannins and great tension, finishing on a lingering peppery note. This was bottled in March 2024. (09/2024)

Two-thirds Merlot from Farella in Coombsville, the balance of Realm's 2022 The Tempest (23% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc) comes from Upper Range. Lead by scents of black cherries, cedar and vanilla, it's medium- to full-bodied, streamlined and nicely silky in feel, even if it lacks the richness of the 2021 bottling.
