Cranraspberry with holiday baking spiced on the nose. Soft crushed youthful red fruit on the palate dance in ascension to higher acidity with a lengthy finish. Tapas afternoon wine. Purchased in Madrid at duty free. Pairs excellently with a variety of green olives. — 8 years ago

Ascension makes great Malbecs yet this is an outstanding #torrontes white. Gentle floral nose and white stone fruit on the palate. It's a bit sweeter but really well balanced. — 8 years ago

Pearl! A super refined blended wine! From a region in clear ascension in Portugal and from a house which deserves to be its god mother ! — 10 years ago

These recent vintage Realm wines from Benoit just are just incredibly full throttle, profound and lush. There's an extra layer of complexity here that is so impressive. I've been on the allocation list since the beginning and I've enjoyed watching the ascension. This is undoubtedly a Napa first growth estate now. There are few if any North Coast wineries who are as dependably brilliant as Realm is at this point in time. De-Lish. — 8 years ago

Like the 1920s Yekaterinburg ballet portraying an airy, gravity-free choreography, while unsupressably bound by the tethers of the Bolshevik revolution. Yearning to soar, yet their ascension be grounded by relentless snowstorms, breezing across the tarmac upon which your vessel must remain.
Tastes like buttered toast with honeyed apricot jam displayed on a woolen table cloth. — 8 years ago

This cork challenged my ah so skills but I prevailed. Slow clap 👏🏽 for me. Decanted for 6 hours and it was in a really nice place. Dark dark fruits, smokey game meats, cloves, herbs and white pepper. Still quite young and on the ascension. — 8 years ago

Excellent full flavored blended red. Nice bold start with a sweet slight cinnamon finish.
Just a great overall full body blend. — 9 years ago
