2012 Realm Cellars The Bard

Knocked this one out of the park for a grand slam home run. To be honest i tell people that the Bard is my all time favorite wine so i shouldnt have been too surprised. This was so good and integrated, well balanced with plenty of fruit. I just wanted to let it sit there on my tongue. This ended up being the #1 wine of the evening with 7 friends. Opened about 5 cabs and this blew all others away. Unfortunatly, i only got to drink 1/8th of the bottle. On the brighter side i have five more bottles in the cellar.

It is really sad that Realm refuses to reproduce this wine. The 2013 Bard is truly a 100 pt wine. While the 2014, 2015, 2016 and of course 2017 are very good wines, they are shadows of the 2013. Maybe in time Realm will give in and add the Beckstoffer fruit into the Bard once again.

2013 Chimney Rock Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District

Took a hit for the club here.

This is clearly not ready to drink. Very muted. Fruit not able to be coaxed out. PNP and drank over four hours with no noticeable change.

Rating this a 99 to make up for the guy posting a 51.

I really do love the Realm's version of Beckstoffer fruit. The To-kalon never fails me. Some of my most prized wines in my collection. Opened this at a family party last night and everybody was amazed by it. Lovely.

I love the Turley Pesenti Zin. This is the best and the 2013 is showing to be great. I probably should have bought more than four of them.

Wonderful bottle of wine by Mr Mercado and the Realm wine team.

But as others said, you have to decant this for hours and its going to be better in a few years when it settles down.

2013 Rivers-Marie Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa Valley more

11/25/2015 - Rktekt3 wrote: 95 points

What is not to like about this wine. Beautiful deep red color. Fruit forward on the nose and palate. A bit of oak, vanilla and chocolate. Great flavors that are well adjusted. It is a big wine and has a very nice finish.

Glad i have been going deep on the 2013's and this is my first year for Rivers-Marie.
