The Winery
Realm Cellars
Realm Cellars was founded in 2002 by sourcing fruit from some of the most distinct vineyards in Napa Valley, including To Kalon, Dr. Crane and Farella. Realm purchased land in the Stags Leap District in 2015 and introduced its first Estate wine called Moonracer. The portfolio also consists of proprietary blends based on specific varietals -- The Tempest is a Merlot blend, Falstaff is a Cabernet Franc blend, and The Bard is the signature Cabernet Sauvignon blend from vineyards throughout Napa Valley. With several 100-point scores in recent years, Realm Cellars is quickly becoming a Napa Valley cult producer. Wines are stylistically plush with plenty of fruit, very approachable in their youth, and perfect for the cellars of aficionados.
Tasting Notes
- WA94
- The 2013 Tempest is Realm`s homage to Right Bank Bordeaux, as it is a blend of 86% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Sauvignon. Like Shakespeare`s famous play, this is meant to be an in-your-face, boisterous, expressive and flamboyant wine. Most of the grapes tend to come from great vineyards such as Dr. Crane and others. The wine is lush and ripe, with a stunning nose of coffee beans, chocolate, black cherries, and blackberries. It is deep, heady, and enormously appealing in its opulence and sexiness. Drink it over the next 7-10 years.
