Focused and balanced across the nose and palate expressing a sense of place. Clean taste of raspberries, floral elements and sassafras-all play well. Displaying lively acid and rounded tannins for a peppery long finish. Very elegant wine. Drink now. — 9 years ago

Ruby color. Initially tight on the nose, but after a bit of air it opened up very nicely showing mixed red berry liqueur (cherry, raspberry), cardamom, sassafras and damp earth aromas. On the palate it's lush, focused and lively with a gorgeous mouth feel sporting velvety well integrated tannins with cherry and raspberry liqueur, spice flavors with an attractive lingering floral and spicy finish. 2009 Vintage. — 9 years ago

Tale of a Perfect 10: electric soy and black olive mashup, suggestive garrigue and sexpot violet, brown sugar swizzle stick and incomprehensible herbal-vanilla wafer-anise love child. Then it gets interesting: espresso and tobacco leaf, cocoa nib, cola and cool. Or is that sassafras?? Pink peppercorn, portobello and candied pomegranate. Handstands. Hell yes. Thank you. 🙏 — 10 years ago

Caramel-marzipan-orange-cookie love. Lemon dust and graham goodness, sassafras cola cool, toffee crunch and date, honeycomb and brown sugar-apricot. Rich, full bodied but somehow light on its feet. YES — 10 years ago

Sassafras, smoky oak. Takes a lot of time to open up in the glass. Brightness emerges. Integrated. Advocates patience. — 8 years ago

My first shot at the Realm white and it delivered huge. Astounding aromatics of sassafras (yes! @Roman Sukley) and rain soaked vegetation. Melon rind, stream bed and a lively verve. I may be crazy but I get a Haut Brion blanc vibe here. Outstanding with fresh oysters and good company. — 9 years ago

Nebbiolo in a vernacular of orange peels, wood spice, sassafras, and permeating fragrance, this is as nice a night cap as it is a delicious and effective digestif. A 500ml genie in a bottle and my third wish of a sound sleep is certain. — 9 years ago

Maybe it's just the holiday talking, but this is seriously channeling spearmint. Still ruby dark and fairly singing with vigor, it's an everything wine, folks, with super balanced structure and cherry-pomegranate kissed by sassafras. The toast is sweetly integrated, so you don't even hardly notice you're quaffing a mega-wine. 👯💖🍷 — 10 years ago

When There might have been more elegant or forceful wines on the table, this won out among the top three wines to enjoy with cassoulet. Sassafras and root spices, bright juicy black fruit and tannins just right for duck confit, garlic sausage, fattened haricot tarbais and the rest. Just right. — 8 years ago
