| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nThe Bard is a dense, weighty, and concentrated wine that year in and year out showcases the most dynamic expression of Napa Valley.\u00a0This cabernet sauvignon based proprietary blend celebrates the art and precision required of meticulous blending, combining grapes from impeccable growing sites with the judicious oversight of the human hand and palate. A wine that punches far above its weight. BeckstofferTo Kalonand Dr. Crane, Houyi Vineyard, Blair Vineyard, Weitz Vineyard, Fortuna Vineyard, Beckstoffer Orchard, and Realm\u2019s Stags Leap Estate Vineyard have all found a place in various vintages of The Bard. With vineyards spanning from Calistoga to Coombsville, from the Mayacamas Mountains to the Vaca Range, The Bard is the most complex and diverse blend Realm produces.\r\nBlend: 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 5% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Petite Sirah\r\nVinous 98 Points\r\nJames Suckling 97 Points \r\nRobert Parker 96 Points\r\nAbout Realm Cellars\r\nWe started this endeavor to explore the realm of possibility \u2013 both in Napa Valley and in ourselves. From fledgling start-up to an established domaine, the ethos of Realm Cellars has always been to dare greatly. Yet the journey represents more than a quest for greatness in winegrowing.\r\nRealm Cellars is a journey.\u00a0Just eight years ago, the winery was nearly bankrupt when owner Scott Becker and winemaker Benoit Touquette teamed up to revive it.\u00a0Fueled by a clear vision, an entrepreneurial spirit and relentless determination, they transformed Realm into one of the most electrifying domaines in Napa Valley today.\u00a0Now with its own hillside Estate in the Stags Leap District, 50 acres of vines and access to a number of the finest vineyards in the appellation, Realm makes some of the most sought-after wines in Napa Valley.\r\nMaking wine at the very highest level is at the core of Realm Cellars.\u00a0Since 2012, the wines have been awarded more 100-point scores from internationally recognized wine critics than any other producer in Napa Valley.\u00a0The Realm portfolio includes both Single Vineyard wines and Proprietary Blends \u2013 collectively, the wines are equal parts an expression of the land and an articulation of the winemaking craft.\u00a0The house style of Realm can best be described as a creative tension between richness and precision, density and finesse, purity of fruit and nuance.\r\nThe next chapter of Realm Cellars promises to be just as bold.\u00a0The vision for what Realm can be encompasses more than creating fine wines.\u00a0This passionate team is ready to push ahead in its relentless quest to secure an enduring place among the icons of the wine world.\u00a0The best is yet to come. |
