Delicious. Dark fruit, balanced oak, savory mid palate.

My first Realm wine. Love their story and I admire them! Didn't disappoint me at all. Very concentrated juice dominated by pure ripe black fruits, mixed with mocha and dark chocolate. Hint of leather and vanilla. Almost 1min finish. What a great wine! 14.6% alc. 2012 vintage

Much better than the bard to me. Smooth, delicious. Would age beautifully but too bad I drank it all!

A bit of a crap shoot even with great labels to buy older stuff. Happily the 2007 Tempest was actually more than I expected. Drank it as second bottle after the 2013 Shafer Cab. Where the Shafer was big, full of tannins and spicy, the Realm was muted but full and just really smooth on the palate with a great finish. Hate to compare to clothing but it’s a comfy shirt.
