First bottle I’ve opened of Falstaff. Lovely wine. Silky smooth, floral, dark fruit, nice finish. Drinking very well right now with a short decant. — 5 months ago

Heady nose of blackberries, jammy purple fruit, brambly and peppery aromas, and then surprisingly lifted on the palate. Sappy with a uniquely Spanish garrigue quality. Refined in its structure and reminiscent of cru Beaujolais in the realm of brouilly or moulin a vent... but at 15 years ago prices. Such a generous wine! Plenty of freshness, spice and raw pleasure to spare. — 4 years ago

Like biting into a dark red cherry and subsequently biting your lip in the process; plush cherries, blood & iron, and manure. Only in the realm of wine are such qualities desirable. — 5 years ago

The end of an era....still enjoying my last allocations from Hartwell. Will enjoy the new adaptation in Realm. Hard not to drink entire bottle. Big and bold and fruity. Great finish. — 6 years ago

Dark ruby colored. Slightly muted nose, bright fresh fruit. Black and blue fruit up front, chocolate, tobacco, but of red cherry, minerality, quite complex, tannins tight at the open, needs a nice decant at this point. Bright, crisp, silky mouthfeel. Long finish. Some of my favorite wines are from Dr. Crane, and this is another one. — 3 months ago

Wanted to celebrate today’s Realm Release, but my inventory is just dwindling thanks to Coronalcoholism, so went with next best thing. This is such a great go-to wine. Full-bodied, great mouthfeel. Could drink this all the time. @Benoit Touquette is a sexy Mfer. — 4 years ago

100 POINT Cult Wine.

Inky in color with a short purple rim.

Strong nose of blackberries, sweet plums, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, spices, espresso, cola, tobacco, chocolates and black pepper. Very dense.

Full bodied, big and bold, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, espresso, vanilla, spices, chocolates, tobacco, light herbs, light alcohol and peppercorn.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley. Showing great complexity with a great mouthfeel. Nicely balanced, Rich and extracted.

Robert Parker 100 points.

This 9 year old is still young, but already drinking beautifully. Will continue to age nicely in the next 25 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and much better after 3 hours of airtime.

Complex, and easy to drink. Just wonderful. A good sipping wine that doesn't need food, but will also pair very nicely with a big piece of steak.

A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. A small production of only 3,000 bottles.

14.6% alcohol by volume.

96 points.

$1,000. — 5 months ago

Lovely nose. Dark purple. Ripe plum, black cherry, dark fruit. Soft tannins, but needs air time. And prob needs several more years in bottle. Nice supple finish. — 7 months ago

This was so hedonistic for me, but within the realm of balance. The oak, lees integration, alcohol, and ripe tannin made for elixir that went straight to the pleasure center of my brain. Honey covered and grilled yellow peach, distilled honeysuckle, lavender, candied pear and Rainer cherry, crushed stones, orange peel, marzipan. So ripe and yet the full ML treatment worked so well. The phenolic Viognier bite was so suave and plush. — 4 years ago

The 2016 Pinot Noir The Prospect Sierra Madre Vineyard is stunningly beautiful. Deeply-pitched aromatics and beautifully sculpted fruit elevate the Sierra Madre into the realm of the truly exceptional. Rose petal, mint and red/purplish berry fruit all come alive. The 2016 Prospect simply has it all. What a wine! (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2018) — 5 years ago
