A terrific example of an older vintage of Realm, I think this might be the first year they sourced grapes from the Dr Crane vineyard. Classic Napa cab with aromas of blackberry, cassis, hints of leather, and an undercurrant of vanilla still prevalent from the barrel ageing. Initially the wine exhibited firm tannins on the palate, but after an hour they soften up considerably...and after another 30 min they had really fallen away. The wine stayed in balance and is drinking well, but I suspect this is starting on the downslope. If you have any in your cellar, I'd suggest opening them up within the next couple of years. Terrific wine from Juan and his team at Realm! — 9 years ago

2007 in 2016. Integrated, but some of the fruit has fallen. Blackberry, boysenberries, a touched aged leather. Medium body — 10 years ago

Black cherries, rosemary, anise, mint, black currant, smoke, fallen leaves, a bit of funk, crushed rocks, touches of sweeter spices. Amazing balance of power, structure, and acidity on the palette. Immense value for the price. — 11 years ago

Pure as freshly fallen snow. Apricot preserves, orange cream, and honeysuckle give way to almond extract and a touch of lemon zest. Long, mellow finish. — 9 years ago

I’m not familiar with Tempranillo, so I am unsure what its specific contribution to the wine is. I can only compare the wine to the Brothers and Sisters cabernet I’ve recently fallen in love with.
By George shares the same elegance as its sister wine, with a more savoury core, eschewing some sweetness and vibrancy, for darker more brooding flavours. Dark plum, cherry and dried blueberry fruits set the scene, but it’s the smoky cured meats, volcanic rock, cedar and tobacco on the mid and back palate that bring the party to life. It’s a flavour profile I haven’t encountered before, but I like it a lot. The soft tannins are well integrated, the balance slightly acidic, but not objectionable, lending a lingering spiciness to the finish.
Another Fox Gordon masterpiece. The love affair continues… — 10 years ago
Grilled lemon, smoky roses, clove, blood orange, mushroom and fallen tree, dark raspberry olfactively speaking. Rose petals, cedar, red apple skins, orange bitters, smoky pineapple, raspberry, tart cherry, plum. Lovely tannins and an amazing mineral finish that keeps you revisiting this texturally perfect wine. — 10 years ago
