2020 Realm Cellars La Fe

Community Tasting Note

Decanting Queen Likes this wine:

92 Points

Sunday, May 30, 2021 - We really enjoyed this wine, to the point that we opened a second bottle despite other wines patiently waiting for us in the decanter. Beautiful color, more pale and salmon toned than expected (although I really had no expectations for a Realm rose). This was crisp and refreshing with lovely strawberry and water melon flavors. This has not had the best reviews here but if you ignore the brand and the price expectations it is fantastic. I would buy a few more, even at $60.

These particular friends don’t like champagne, so we often open a nice white or rose when they come over. If we had been drinking champagne we would have spent more than 60 per bottle, and this was enjoyed at least as much, so I think it was worth it. That’s my logic

I do get you champ/rose approach though, it makes perfect sense and for certain friends NOT from FL, that's fine by me! :)
