Very aromatic and intense with orange peel, raspberries and some rocky minerality too. Big, full bodied but high acidity. As a person who gets excited about Old Vine Zin, this is different but exists in that same realm. Really cool wine! — 9 years ago

The team at Realm knocked it out of the park with this one. Crisp. Refreshing and perfect with sushi #ibid — 10 years ago

This is an incredible sparkling wine. I'm naive in this realm, but it is the best sparkling wine I've ever had. — 9 years ago

Raisinated w some massively concentrated jammy fruit at the core. Almost seems to be a touch of RS--at 15.8% not outside realm of possibility. After opening up for an hour, started to get a little sexy. Tannins are nice & soft. Decant for a while methinks. — 10 years ago

I don't have a ton of experience with this style of wine, but I'm so glad it exists. The rancio/fresh fruit qualities are almost perfectly balanced. I'd gladly pick it over 90% of tawny Ports in the same price realm. — 10 years ago

Himmm. Had high hopes for this being Farella fruit (think Realm)... Came of soft and somewhat thin??? Not sure if this isn't showing yet or what but left me scratching my head. — 9 years ago

Number 3 tonight of 3. Started with the 2004 Alter Ego from Palmer, followed by the 2012 Realm Farella, and now this wine. The Palmer was good, the Hartwell better, but the Realm was best. This Hartwell at 10 years old has a tremendous amount of life in it. Enjoyed with a brownie made by Liam and supervised by MC. How can cab and brownies be bad. Hey Becca thanks for the shoutout on Delectable, and follow me push. I assume I'm your first wine friend too. — 10 years ago
